Probably we should consider drones, each carrying 1kg of fire suppression and program to drop it at heat source. It can be automated to drop and reload(battery and payload) and when we run hundreds of these, we can see the effect fast.
Or we load smart bombs with fire suppression and drop it with one of the most advanced fighters to pin point accuracy. These things can carpet bomb deserts it makes no sense not to use it to shower a forest.
They need to build more than just one....if they did and actually call them out when a fire first starts it would be great....govenors need to quit waiting for 3-4 days before calling them out!!
This is a very bad ides. This air frame was not ment to drop that much weight in flight.
This is why the P3 Orion platform is a better choice. One day mark my words this thing will fall from the sky and kill the flight crew and many others on the ground
