Military aviation will be involved in extinguishing forest fires from the air for the first time. This decision has been made as part of preparations to address intensifying extreme weather events linked to climate change. Military air force aircraft and helicopters are expected to be used to drop water or special fire-retardant compounds on fire sites, supplementing the work of civilian fire services. The initiative is being considered as part of a broader strategy to increase preparedness for natural disasters, which scientists predict will increase in frequency and intensity amid global warming. Deploying military resources will allow for faster response to major fires and provide additional support during periods of peak demand on fire services. Details regarding the scale of military equipment involvement, timelines for beginning operations, and possible expansion of this practice to other regions are still being clarified.
