This Cobra is a tank hunter, relying on its narrow frontal profile, the long reach of the TOW missile, and skilful flying to remain undetected as it hunts its prey. The Cobra’s chin-mounted M197 20mm Gatling gun makes short work of infantry and lightly-armoured vehicles, and any enemy helicopters it may come across.
In Israeli Service
The AH-1S Cobra first entered service with the Israeli Air Force (IAF) in 1975 and saw extensive use in Lebanon. The IAF named its AH-1S attack helicopters the ‘Tzefa’ (Hebrew for Viper).
In the 1982 Lebanon War 160 Squadron Tzefa’s were use to attack Syrian armour and fortifications, destroying dozens of Syrian ground vehicles.
Like the Americans, the IAF Vipers were armed with Improved TOW, or their own development the MAPATS, anti-tank guided missiles, M197 20mm Gatling guns, and M159 rocket launchers
