It's basically just a extreme modernization program for the Viper the Apache got there's already upgraded so the Viper was bound to get theirs modernized as well it's just keeping our military up-to-date with modern technology and extending the life of the aircraft
@@john-y128 you are thinking of the AN/APG-78 Longbow radar system, which is on the AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter, not the AH-1 Cobra helicopter. The U.S. Army uses the AH-64 Apache, the USMC uses the AH-1 Cobra.
@@willymac5036 Exactly right. Saw it in combat during the Gulf War/Desert Storm. I'm a Navy Corpsman and I was attached to 3rd Marine Air Wing. We shared the flight line with the Army , Air Force and the British Royal Air Force, Regimental Marines.
This is a nice marketing video of Bell. As stated in the beginning of this video the main helicopter is state of the art but was put into production 24 years ago. 24 years ago!
Hmm. The agreement between the Army and the Air Force since the 50s was that the Army would stay out of the Close Air Support (CAS) fixed wing business and the Air Force would stay out of the Attack Helicopter business. I wonder if the Army will acquire the A-10, now that the Air Force wants to retire it. . . .
@@richardhamilton1567 True. That was about the time the Air Force was openly wondering if they really wanted the CAS mission and also wondering if they couldn't use the money for A-10s to fund a "newer, better fighter" program.
While we have the baddest weapons in the world, the government invests BILLIONS yearly in weapons and only millions in veteran care. It would only take 10% of a yearly weapons budget to care for our wounded veterans. But, the VA request for the 2025 budget is $369.3 billion, a $32.9 billion (+9.8%) increase above the 2024 Estimate level. The percentage for FY 2023 budget givento the VA was only 3.5%. Seem pretty low for the number of veterans needing care.
This announcement, when taken in context with a previous announcement that the Army dropped the two advanced observation helicopter programs after spending billions in R&D on those programs in favor of drones, may indicate some fundamental shifts in joint services war fighting. The Air Force is funded for longer term contracts than the army. If the Air Force is now getting fully on board with it's Close Air Support missions for an engagement on the islands of the South Pacific, then maybe just maybe the two services are finally shifting priorities towards what's going to be needed to counter a certain peer adversaries imperialist ambition.
It depends on how you fly them. The Russians fly the damn things way too high. You stay low and fast, very hard to get a lock on with heat or radar guided weapon system. Gotta worry about the one guy with a rifle though. In the army we flew so low the cops kept giving us speeding tickets.
I think your showing the wrong aircraft, the Air Force is in fact starting to use the new HH-60W Whiskey which is basically a modified UH-60M, however that is a combat rescue helicopter, the Air Force, that I know of, does not use attack helicopters, might want to change this up.
A decent video, a lot of little mistakes but just to make it clear, the cobras were designed by the manufacturers to show they can actually carry sidewinders. In reality, they do not. Air-to-air is the domain of the fixed wing jets, not helicopters. With AWAC's aircraft there wouldn't be an enemy fixed wing within a 150 to 200 Mi so there is zero rationale to carry sidewinders on cobras. As far as most of the shots that you see the helicopter firing, these are done on firing ranges. We do not fly that high in reality, you make yourself a wonderful target. Ordinarily you skim the ground and stand off about two to four miles away and send in guided missiles while using the gun for self-defense for close in targets. You don't fly high enough to get a nosebleed. Other than that, it was a good video.
Army got rid of Cobras in the 90's when I was in. Marines use them due to there size being able to land on Carriers and twin engines. Flying in a Cobra is a blast. To bad the Army went to GSAB. My job Asa powerplant mechanic allowed me to perform engine vibe checks on the aircraft. Fly Army. Hookers do it better.
Oh please, it is just an updated apache and nothing more. Wow, a new engine and new toys to launch, this is as stale as Hollywood movies just remaking a remake of a remake…
Marine Corps has been using this Viper for a very long time.

The Viper is an upgrade for the Cobra. The Marines use it-the Army uses the Apache!
The U.S always a step ahead
That copter looks like an Apache in a Cobra skin.
you know the apache has wheels right?
The Marines and the Army fly choppers. My favorite one is the Super Cobra.
The U.S. Air Force does not use the AH-1, the U.S. Marine Corps does.
And where is the 'over to hill terrain/horizon' Radar dome that was added years ago on top of the blades to protect the whole bird from RPG's?

The cobra line first flew in 1966. We're talking about 58 years ago.
Cobras went from T53's to T700 's. Big upgrade from Cobra to Super Cobra.
That's a 🔥 helicópteros
❤❤❤ 0:54 0:54 0:54
A very cool little chopper!!!👌👌👌
Wish we had Air Wolf.
I knew it, damn grunts can’t live without that cobra lol. Viper ??? lol. I dub thee the “King Cobra” . Forget Viper.. ! It’s King 👑 Cobra 🐍 😅😂
Right, just like the Super Stallion became the King Stallion, why not the Super Cobra to the King Cobra? Makes plenty sense to me!
Thanks, Hyperspeed.
Why promote a USAF helicopter, but then the whole video is about a USMC helicopter?
@@JackW467 I guess!!
💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💙💙💙Tanks America 🇺🇸 good bless AMERICA and Mexico 🇲🇽
Okay is it for the US Marines or US Army and US Navy ?
Marines only
most advance helicopter...made in US🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

Army was talking about getting A-10's since the early 90's. Back in my days.
That might be the point😊
@@richardhamilton1567 True. That was about the time the Air Force was openly wondering if they really wanted the CAS mission and also wondering if they couldn't use the money for A-10s to fund a "newer, better fighter" program.
Can i use your videos bro
That's why nobody can beat the US in the skies😊so powerful enough
Actually, a lot of the reports are saying that the United States military is going to eventually move away from helicopters in the future
US weapon very strong n orig.than China 2b succesfully❤❤❤

Good to see attention to CAS survivability over land or sea.
Those are obsolete!
NICE!
Stealth cobra chopper would be nice.
GO AIR FORCE AND ITS WARRIORS.
not AF, not new
@@griffy07 oops
It's like an A-10 helicopter.
My Uncle just retired from Bell and was in charge of the weapon systems software for this bird.

Every job in the military is designed to support directly or indirectly the ground soldier, even though the air force doesn't see it that way.
What about the Hughes AH-64E Apache Guardian Gunship?
Donatw those to Ukraine
Blue thunder redesign. Upgrade. 😊
YAHOO AIR FORCE MAN
That helicopter belongs to the Marins not the air force
Next time you have nothing to say, just tell me
Apache用に開発されてるレーザー兵器搭載も視野に‼️笑😁✈️🚢
Helicopters are vulnerable. The Ukraine war proved that.

It has been in service for some time now. It isn't advanced as the AH-64 Apache.
The Air Force doesn’t fly combat helicopters.
Yes they do.
Air Force special operators fly the little bird, or so I thought.
@@JohnDoe-rj9cq we do fly on Army Little Bird however we flew on AF 53’s, Huey’s and the occasional Blackhawk. . . Though, I retired in 95.
Says air force right on the side of it soo..... maybe
Sure it does, special ops use!

I had a chance for a ride in the Cobra from a Warrant officer I was friends with, and I regret not doing it. I'm afraid of hights,
And spelling!
I hate to burst your bubble but the USAF doesn't fly that chopper. The Army does
I hate to burst your bubble, but neither does the Army...It's the Marines Corp
@pernskyw1289 My bad. The army has the apache. I forgot.

Uss BonHomme Richard had them onboard.
Looks like a "Cobra" to me!!! Did y'all say the "Air Force" is Using this???
Wow, they could test this in Donbass, Ukraine
It's an older airframe than the Apache the cobra was the first attack helicopter
super masina de lupta!

Why does the Apache have a 30mm gun and the viper have a 20mm?
because 42
But Apache is mine😅❤

That one missle.
Agree with everyone else
The thread that Binds 😂
Why was a Turkish drone shown in the video.
is that
John Goodman
American actor
most common usage,,, to invade poor country, then claim it a 'battle proven' piece of equipment.
The US Marines use chopper not the Army or Air Force.
No the army do,s not fly that one 1:57
Double bubble bubble Burst the Navy chopper..
It’s A Marine Helicopter Not Air Force
I thought they retired these two decades ago.
That's a U.S. Marine Corps helicopter
Says air force right on the side so.....
Ya
This is a very old Hele with a few new upgrades
Ill bet the pinkos are franticly trying to hack the plans for this gear
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Looks like a cobra
This is a very old helicopter. The Marines have been using it since 2010. I've just deleted your channel for being untruthful.
2 expensive, no ejection system.
helecopter is a settingduck in modern warfare
It's a battle zone, everything is a sitting duck. You wanna live forever!?
@@mrgrinch837 helos are MORE vulnerable than just about anything else except Russian "meat"
