The Bell AH-1Z Viper is a modern version of the AH-1 Cobra, the first ever attack helicopter. The modern version is also called Zulu Cobra in reference to its variant letter. The latest AH-1Z Viper is a result of the H-1 helicopter upgrade program for the US Marine Corps that was launched by the US Government in 1996. It is one of the most powerful, capable and advanced helicopters flying today. The Viper is one nasty bird. It carries 16 Hellfire missiles like the AH-64 Apache Helicopter, but unlike the AH-64 Apache Helicopter, it can be armed with air-to-air AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. It has 70 mm Hydra rockets and sports a 20mm Gatling gun. It can fly up to 20,000 feet high with a 250-mph top speed. That’s faster than an AH-64 Apache Helicopter.
