New Combat Helicopters

The fighter jet and combat helicopters have evolved, with the Bell AH-1W SuperCobra being a powerful addition to the US arsenal. These fighter jets and combat helicopters are used by the Marine Corps.

The development from the UH-1 Huey to the AH-1 Cobra to the advanced AH-1W SuperCobra was driven by the need for speed and power in combat helicopters.

According to a published article by SlashGear, the Cobra arsenal included rockets, combat helicopters, and a sophisticated missile system, making it a versatile and effective weapon in combat.

False Claim

In a published article by Rappler, the claims that the Philippines received 12 retired AH-1W Super Cobra attack helicopters from the United States are false.

The Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force, and Department of National Defense have not made any statements confirming this acquisition. The video spreading this misinformation names the wrong commanding general for the PAF and lacks credible sources.

The AH-1W Super Cobra was retired in 2020 and replaced by the AH-1Z Viper, but there have been no recent reports of the PAF purchasing either type of helicopter.

The recent helicopter acquisition by the PAF was the Turkish-made T129 “Atak” attack helicopter in 2022. News regarding military acquisitions should be verified through official channels.
