Its open information, AH-1Z can carry sidewinders and Apache can carry stingers.

P-3C carries Sidewinders too for shooting other MPAs it might encounter.

An interesting glimpse at the USMC AH-1Z Viper Attack Helicopter with AIM-9/AGM-122 missiles.

“It’s a possible configuration. We don’t train with them commonly, mostly for loading practice, but it is a capability we have and we wanted to show it,” one of the aircrew told TheAviationist.com at MCAS Miramar.

I have read some where that Iraq and Iran helicopters faced each other during Iran/Iraq war do you have any info to share.

as i know both side lost around 10 helicopters in this kind of encounters while the balance was more in Iran's favor. Iraqi gazelle helicopters were deadly for ground forces but they were soft targets for cobras with their 20mm cannon. also there was Iraqi mil-24 gunships which were hard to deal with by 20mm but in some cases our pilots successfully used TOW missile against them.
later Iraqis combined the advantage and disadvantage of their both types and employed a group tactic that compelled any attack group to include both of mil-24s and gazelles. in which mil-24s were at scout roles and gazelles as anti tank roles.
apart from that Iranian cobras shared some scores against two Iraqi jets. which in one case two AH-1s outmaneuvered a mig-21 and opened fire on it with the cannon and downed it and in other case a single cobra downed a mig-23 which was damaged previously by a missile from an f-14, again with 20mm.
