Which helicopter's armament includes the AGM-114 Hellfire missile?

• A. Venom UH-1Y
• B. Super Cobra AH-1W
• C. MV-22B
• D. All three

Answer: (B)

The AGM-114 Hellfire is a primary anti-armor air-to-ground missile fielded by dedicated attack helicopters. Among the Marine Corps helicopters listed, the Super Cobra is the platform designed for this role and has been equipped to carry Hellfire missiles as part of its weaponry, giving it strong anti-armor capability in close air support missions. The other two aircraft types shown are not standard Hellfire platforms: the MV-22B is a tiltrotor transport and isn’t configured to carry guided missiles in typical loadouts, while the UH-1Y Venom is a utility/attack helicopter with lighter armament and does not routinely field Hellfire. So, the helicopter that includes the AGM-114 Hellfire in its armament is the Super Cobra.
