Bell Helicopter AH-1M King Cobra

The AH-1M began to see service following the start of Operation Breakup in early 2014. Despite the astounding service record of the AH-64D Apache Longbow, the Longbows were found to be far to expensive to operate a sizable deployed fleet. As a result, the Balkan Federation hired Bell Helicopter to create an updated AH-1Z Viper that would retain most of the capabilities of the Apache (high crew survivability, modern technology) at a decreased price. The answer is the AH-1M King Cobra.
