Insurgents Hunted Down By AH-1 Cobra Gunship

Incredible footage shows "Jundullah" insurgents engaging a Pakistani military outpost with a DShK "Dushka" heavy machine gun and then being hunted down by a responding AH-1F Cobra gunship.


This footage is several years old, and at the time Jundullah "Soldiers of God" were an affiliate of the the Tehrik-i-Taliban (TTP), not to be confused with the Afghan Taliban. In 2014, Jundullah broke from TTP and swore allegiance to the Islamic State.


Pakistan has maintained an upgraded, but aging fleet of approximately 48 AH-1Cobra helicopters. During the Obama administration, Pakistan ordered 15 AH-1Z Vipers, but that order was cancelled along with foreign aid by the Trump administration for Pakistan's continued support of terror groups. Pakistan had also ordered 20 Turkish T129 ATAK choppers, but that deal was also stifled when Trump froze the export license for the engines, which are American-made. Seeking other options, Pakistan trialed three Chinese CAIC Z-10 attack helicopters in 2018, but never ordered any following the trial. It is rumored that they may purchase the upgraded Chinese Z-10ME, should the US continue to deny them the Turkish and American aircraft units.
