Hello and welcome to another Admiral channel video. When the United States started the war with Vietnam in 1965, the UH-1 Bell single-engine attack helicopter was able to quickly change the balance of power in favor of the attacking forces. But despite the extraordinary ability to quickly transfer troops to the front lines, this helicopter was very vulnerable to direct enemy fire. This weakness led to the design of a new combat helicopter that could transport troops to operational areas and increase their survival rate. The new model was named Cobra because of its slim yet deadly design. The new helicopter was equipped with a turret under the nose to mount two 40 mm M189 grenade launchers or two high caliber miniguns. This turret had the ability to rotate sideways and up and down and was controlled by the gunner. With the capacity of firing more than 4000 rounds per minute and launching dozens of rockets in a few seconds, the Cobra helicopter quickly became a ruthless predator of the outskirts of large cities in Vietnam, and seeing them in the sky became the most terrifying moments for the people of that country. . In the following years, this helicopter was also purchased by Iran and played a colorful role in the Iran-Iraq war and is still serving in the Iranian armed forces. The narrow body, maneuverability, high agility and deadly weapons have made the Cobra one of the most effective anti-tank helicopters in the world, and the Bell company, by producing this helicopter, opened the way for the production of other types of attack helicopters in the world. In this video, we will examine the history of the formation of this helicopter and some of its special features.
