===Turkey=== Turkey bought ten AH-1Ws in the early 1990s, and supplemented them with 32 ex-US Army Cobras. These additional units included several TAH-1P trainers while the majority were brought up to the AH-1F standard.<ref name="airvectors.net"/> During the 2010s, Turkish Cobras have repeatedly seen combat in operations against [[Kurd]]ish insurgents around Turkey's borders with both Syria and Iraq. Two Cobras were reportedly lost to enemy fire during these operations.<ref>{{cite news |title=Kurdish militants reportedly shoot down Turkish security forces helicopter |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/05/14/kurdish-militants-just-challenged-turkish-air-power-in-a-major-way/ |first=Erin |last= Cunningham |date=14 May 2016 |newspaper= The Washington Post}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3479/video-shows-pkk-fighter-blasting-a-turkish-ah-1-cobra-out-of-the-sky-with-a-shoulder-fired-missile |title= Video Shows PKK Fighter Blasting A Turkish AH-1 Cobra Out Of The Sky With A Shoulder-Fired Missile |publisher= The War Zone |first= Tyler |last= Rogoway |date= 14 May 2016 |access-date= 30 March 2021 |archive-date= 19 February 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210219022900/https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/3479/video-shows-pkk-fighter-blasting-a-turkish-ah-1-cobra-out-of-the-sky-with-a-shoulder-fired-missile |url-status= dead }}</ref> Amid the [[2016 Turkish coup d'Γ©tat attempt]], Turkish Cobras were alleged to have fired upon several police vehicles.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://sofrep.com/news/watch-ah-1-cobra-attack-helicopters-firing-turkish-police-vehicles-failed-coup/ |title= Watch: Cobra Attack Helicopters firing on Turkish police vehicles during the failed coup |publisher= sofrep.com |first= Desiree |last= Huitt |date= 23 July 2016}}</ref>
