While the original AH-1G was designed primarily for battlefield fire support, the later AH-1Q and AH-1S variants were developed to counter armoured threats through the introduction of TOW anti-tank guided missiles and upgraded combat systems. Many earlier AH-1G helicopters were rebuilt to the new standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cobra entered service in 1967 and saw extensive combat during the Vietnam War before continuing service with the U.S. Army and numerous international operators.
