Homegrown airborne firefighting system unveiled
TEHRAN (Basirat): — Iran unveiled on Saturday a domestically produced airborne firefighting system that can be loaded to various aircraft for extinguishing large-scale fires.
The system allows aircraft to be used as an air tanker to combat fire as it can
carry about 18 tons of water and spray it every five seconds, YJC reported.
Forests in Iran are prone to fire outbreaks and such equipment would help in
containing destructive flames much more effectively.
