Introduced in 1967, the AH-1G Cobra was designed specifically for combat—unlike earlier troop transport conversions. Its slim, tandem-cockpit design and powerful armament made it the perfect escort for Huey helicopters and a devastating force against enemy fortifications. Armed with a combination of rocket pods, grenade launchers, and miniguns, Cobras could unleash a storm of firepower while remaining fast and maneuverable enough to evade return fire. The Cobra’s presence became synonymous with American airpower and close support dominance in Vietnam.

Deploy them in pairs or squadrons to maintain constant pressure and air superiority over the battlefield.
Historical Context:
The AH-1 Cobra revolutionized helicopter warfare, giving the U.S. Army a dedicated platform for offensive operations. Serving extensively throughout Vietnam, it provided cover during insertions, defended firebases, and spearheaded major engagements. Its distinctive silhouette and menacing firepower earned it legendary status—laying the foundation for future gunship designs still in service today.
