16. Bell AH-1Z Viper
The Viper is the newest addition to Bell’s long line of attack helicopters, and it’s designed to replace the SuperCobra. In 2010, the US Marine Corps approved full production and declared it combat-ready. In 2015, the United States approved the sale of Vipers to Pakistan. Poland’s Armed Forces, the Czech Republic’s Armed Forces, Romania’s Armed Forces, Morocco’s Armed Forces, and Bahrain’s Armed Forces have all purchased or expressed interest in purchasing Vipers. The Vipers have a two-person crew, are 58 feet 3 inches long, have a maximum takeoff weight of 18,500 pounds, a cruising speed of 180 miles per hour, a combat range of 125 miles, and can be armed with a single 20 mm M197 three-barreled rotary cannon, 2.75-inch rockets, and AIM-9 Sidewinder and AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, among other weapons.

15. Mil Mi-24 Hind
Although the Mi-24 was built as an assault helicopter, it resembles a UH-1 Huey gunship in appearance. It can transport troops while also delivering a punch, yet it is unlike anything the Western Armies have ever flown. The Mi-24, on the other hand, deserves to be included because of its multi-role support capabilities, which have helped it become a global favorite. The Mi-24 is used by the Russian Air Force and 58 other countries. To date, over 2,600 planes have been manufactured.
