The updated US Marine Cobra, the AH-1Z Viper is very nearly as potent as the Apache...and the new four-bladed and updated Huey's are just about as potent a the Army's Blackhawks in terms of fire power and speed too. With the America class bringing US Marine F-35Bs to the game, with the Ospreys, Vipers, etc. the Marines will have all the latest and best technology to support them.I remember back in '91 when I flew from the Persian Gulf back to San Diego via Norfolk I sat nest to an US Army helo pilot how had been deployed to the Gulf for some months.
