by the American rotorcraft manufacturer <a href="/wiki/Bell_Helicopter" class="mw-redirect" title="Bell Helicopter">Bell Helicopter</a>. A member of the prolific <a href="/wiki/Huey_family" class="mw-redirect" title="Huey family">Huey family</a>, the AH-1 is also referred to as the <b>HueyCobra</b> or <b>Snake</b>. </p><p>The AH-1 was rapidly developed as an interim <a href="/wiki/Gunship" title="Gunship">gunship</a> in response to the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a>'s needs in the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>. It used the same engine, <a href="/wiki/Transmission_(mechanics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Transmission (mechanics)">transmission</a> and <a href="/wiki/Helicopter_rotor" title="Helicopter rotor">rotor</a> system as the <a href="/wiki/Bell_UH-1_Iroquois" title="Bell UH-1 Iroquois">Bell UH-1 Iroquois</a>, which had already proven itself to be a capable platform during the conflict, but paired it with a redesigned narrow fuselage among other features. The original AH-1, being a dedicated attack helicopter, came equipped with stub wings for various weapons, a chin-mounted <a href="/wiki/Gun_turret" title="Gun turret">gun turret</a>, and an armored tandem <a href="/wiki/Cockpit_(aviation)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cockpit (aviation)">cockpit</a>, from which it was operated by a pilot and gunner. Its design was shaped to fulfill a need for a dedicated armed escort for transport helicopters, giving the latter greater survivability in contested environments. On 7 September 1965, the <i>Model 209</i> prototype performed its <a href="/wiki/Maiden_flight" title="Maiden flight">maiden flight</a>; after rapidly gaining the support of various senior officials, quantity production of the type proceeded rapidly with little revision. </p><p>During June 1967, the first examples of the AH-1 entered service with the US Army and were promptly deployed to the Vietnam theater. It commonly provided fire support to friendly ground forces, escorted transport helicopters, and flew in "hunter killer" teams by pairing with <a href="/wiki/Hughes_OH-6A_Cayuse" class="mw-redirect" title="Hughes OH-6A Cayuse">Hughes OH-6A Cayuse</a> scout helicopters. In the Vietnam War alone, the Cobra fleet cumulatively chalked up in excess of one million operational hours; roughly 300 AH-1s were also lost in combat. In addition to the US Army, various other branches of the US military also opted to acquire the type, particularly the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">United States Marine Corps</a>. Furthermore, numerous export sales were completed with several overseas countries, including <a href="/wiki/Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a>, <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japan</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a>. </p><p>For several decades, the AH-1 formed the core of the US Army's attack helicopter fleet, seeing combat in Vietnam, <a href="/wiki/Invasion_of_Grenada_(1983)" class="mw-redirect" title="Invasion of Grenada (1983)">Grenada</a>, <a href="/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Panama" title="United States invasion of Panama">Panama</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_War" title="Gulf War">Gulf War</a>. In US Army service, the Cobra was progressively replaced by the newer and more capable <a href="/wiki/Boeing_AH-64_Apache" title="Boeing AH-64 Apache">Boeing AH-64 Apache</a> during the 1990s, with the final examples being withdrawn during 2001. The <a href="/wiki/Israeli_Air_Force" title="Israeli Air Force">Israeli Air Force</a> (IAF) operated the Cobra most prolifically along its land border with <a href="/wiki/Lebanon" title="Lebanon">Lebanon</a>, using its fleet intensively during the <a href="/wiki/1982_Lebanon_War" title="1982 Lebanon War">1982 Lebanon War</a>. Turkish AH-1s have seen regular combat with <a href="/wiki/Kurd" class="mw-redirect" title="Kurd">Kurdish</a> insurgents near Turkey's southern borders. Upgraded versions of the Cobra have been developed, such as the twin engined <a href="/wiki/Bell_AH-1_SuperCobra" title="Bell AH-1 SuperCobra">AH-1 SeaCobra/SuperCobra</a> and the experimental <a href="/wiki/Bell_309_KingCobra" title="Bell 309 KingCobra">Bell 309 KingCobra</a>. Furthermore, surplus AH-1 helicopters have been reused for other purposes, including civilian ones; numerous examples have been converted to perform <a href="/wiki/Aerial_firefighting" title="Aerial firefighting">aerial firefighting</a> operations. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_AH-1_Cobra&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Background">Background</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_AH-1_Cobra&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Closely related to the development of the Bell AH-1 is the story of the <a href="/wiki/Bell_UH-1_Iroquois" title="Bell UH-1 Iroquois">Bell UH-1 Iroquois</a> transport helicopter—an icon of the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> and one of the most numerous helicopter types built. The UH-1 made the theory of <a href="/wiki/Air_cavalry" class="mw-redirect" title="Air cavalry">air cavalry</a> practical, as the new tactics called for US forces to be highly mobile across a wide area. Unlike before, they would not stand and fight long <a href="/wiki/Battle" title="Battle">battles</a>, and they would not stay and hold positions. Instead, the plan was that the troops carried by fleets of UH-1 "Hueys" would range across the country, to fight the enemy at times and places of their own choice.<sup id="cite_ref-Wheeler_p62-4_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wheeler_p62-4-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The massive expansion of American military presence in Vietnam opened a new era of war from the air. The linchpin of US Army tactics was the helicopters, and the protection of those helicopters became a vital role.<sup id="cite_ref-Wheeler_p60-1_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wheeler_p60-1-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It became clear that unarmed troop helicopters were vulnerable against ground fire from <a href="/wiki/Viet_Cong" title="Viet Cong">Viet Cong</a> and <a href="/wiki/North_Vietnamese_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="North Vietnamese Army">North Vietnamese</a> troops, particularly as they approached landing zones to disembark or embark troops. Without friendly support from artillery or ground forces, the only way to pacify a landing zone was from the air, preferably with an aircraft that could closely escort the transport helicopters, and loiter over the landing zone as the battle progressed. By 1962, a small number of armed UH-1As were used as escorts, armed with multiple machine guns and rocket mounts.<sup id="cite_ref-Wheeler_p57-62_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wheeler_p57-62-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, these makeshift gunships came with considerable tradeoffs, particularly being barely able to keep up with the troop transports they were intended to protect.<sup id="cite_ref-cobra_birth_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cobra_birth-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While some officials within the Pentagon, particularly those within the US Army, had recognized the potential value of purpose-built armed rotary aircraft as early as 1962 and were keen to see such a vehicle developed promptly, the issue was complicated in part due to inter-service politics.<sup id="cite_ref-cobra_birth_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cobra_birth-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">United States Air Force</a> (USAF) largely held the opinion that most forms of US military aircraft should be operated only by their service, and that the US Army would be intruding into their domain by developing a complex armed aerial combatant, and ought to be largely restricted to transport aircraft.
