AH-6 Super Cobra

The AH-6 Super Cobra  'Cobra' is an Orion Nero Initiative twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement, and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. The AH-6 features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems.

The AH-6 is armed with a 30mm M320 Chain Gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and six hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture between AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods.
