The Bell AH-1F Cobra was the first gunship helicopter to enter military service in 1967 and had a maximum speed of 172 mph, serving until the 1980s.
Modern helicopter gunships, unlike dedicated attack helicopters, carry troops and ordnance, similar to flying tanks with significant firepower and protection.
To identify the fastest gunship helicopters of the modern era, 24/7 Wall St. ranked them based on top speed using data from Military Factory.
The UH-60 Black Hawk, despite not being the fastest, is one of the most widely used helicopters globally, serving various roles since its debut in 1979.
