The first flight of the new car was made on December 7, 2000. Small-scale production began in 2003, large-scale production - in December 2010. To date, more than 200 AH-1Z helicopters have been produced. Earlier, the Americans signed several export agreements.

In addition to the AH-1Z, the United States actively operates the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, gradually upgrading it and giving it new capabilities. One of the most notable in this regard was the recent tests from Apache of the new Spike NLOS rocket. During the test, it was able to hit a target at a range of 32 kilometers.
