Helicopters began as utiltitarian vehicles ferrying supplies and personnel. Then there was the need to arm them with rockets and machine guns. Thus was born the attack helicopter. The first true one of its breed was the AH1 Cobra developed during the Vietnam war. It was elegant in its design as it was very slim and posed a small signature as it approached head on.
The updated AH1Z Super Cobra
The main attack chopper is the AH64 Apache. Similar in many ways to the Cobra with a chin mounted machine gun and stubby wings to attach rockets and Hellfire guided missiles
