Historical Significance:

The AH-1W Super Cobra served as the U.S. Marine Corps' primary attack helicopter from the 1980s through the 2010s. The NTS-equipped variant featured advanced night vision and targeting capabilities, including a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor and laser designator. Super Cobras saw extensive combat in Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, providing close air support and armed reconnaissance for Marine ground forces. The twin-engine AH-1W could carry a devastating array of weapons including TOW anti-tank missiles, Hellfire missiles, rocket pods, and a nose-mounted 20mm cannon.
