attack helicopters
Military strike aircraft
Attack helicopters are military aircraft designed primarily for combat, equipped with weapons like missiles, rockets, and machine guns to engage ground targets and provide air support.
The Apache and Cobra are well-known examples.
In internet discourse, "I identify as an attack helicopter" became a mocking phrase directed at gender identity discussions—now widely recognized as a transphobic joke that dismisses non-binary identities.
