these are usually compressed nonflammable gasses that basically starve fires. Not great, better than the smoke and ash from a big fire where it ought not to be
Yeah, all of the methods that come to mind by which a bomb could put out a fire across that kind of distance are pretty devastatingly problematic in terms of their effect on wildlife and human beings in that zone. If this thing like displaces oxygen, welcome to the Era of countries bombing and killing their own civilians to save money on addressing climate change consequences.
Turns out the 5km is the range of the missile, not the area covered. It covers 150m or so from impact, which is mildly more reasonable.
can they make the reverse (an actual firebomb with a 5km radius) and send them here so we can throw them at cops?
Sounds like a lot of collateral damage unless it's a giant fucking police station. Save it for the Pentagon.
They have taken "fire fighting" literally and are building anti-fire tanks and rocket artillery. Beautiful.
