The Israeli military on Wednesday announced that it has destroyed five Iranian AH-1 attack helicopters at a base in the Kermanshah area of western Iran, the AP reported.
The Israelis also released video footage showing the attack on the helicopters. Though Iran has not yet commented on the incident.
According to AP, Iran had purchased around 200 Bell AH-1 SuperCobras under the Shah's rule. These remain in service because international sanctions prevent Iran from buying new weaponry.
