The AH-1 Cobra was first deployed by the US Military in 1968 and saw use in the Vietnam War.

The Cobra was developed in response to a US Army demand for a "Helicopter Gunship" to support its UH-1 Hueys, as it was becoming apparent that the Huey was vulnerable to ground fire and if fully loaded with troops was incapable of suppressing enemy positions near a landing zone. The AH-1 utilized the same engine and rotor as the venerable UH-1 as well as several avionics systems.

The Cobra is still in use today in many countries around the world, and the US Marine Corps uses a twin-engine version as its primary attack helicopter. [[Fail|However it can't keep up with the V-22 Osprey. Which itself has no weapons and the Army will most likely get an armed tilt-rotor before they do.]]

Just as the T-72 wasn't the most modern tank used by the Soviets. The Huey based helicopters were not the most advanced aircraft that the US military had in 1985. The Black Hawk was adopted in 1979. While the Ah-64 Apache went into service a year later in 86. Team Yankee has gotten rules for the Apache but we haven't seen anything for the Black Hawk just yet.
