    What, you didn’t think those huge forest fires occur because of things like, oh, I dunno, climate change or poor management and not allowing smaller natural fires to occur to temporarily benefit some overly rich assholes living in forested areas?

    No, flamethrower helicopters!

      We actually use them to clear homeless encampments. Sure, it burns down half the city with the encampment, but it’s a small price to pay to make our homeless even more miserable <3

      This is funny but the helicopters are probably meant for controlled burn stuff, but I have no first hand knowledge about this.

    Is this even a serious question? Because a freaking helicopter that shoots fire is Awesome! Every state should have one. I want one myself!

    Unfortunately this is not a flamethrower helicopter.

      I’ve seen drones with flamethrowers used to clear brush and trash from powerlines.

    If you watch how they work, these actually scoop up water and convert it to fire. And still all the woke libs act surprised California has constant water shortage and wildfire issues. You’re literally converting your water into fire, sheeple!

        Yes, I believe the Brotherhood of Nod faction was introduced in the Tiberium Wars game, but its possible I may be wrong. Its been a while since Command & Conquer had a truly new release.

          Brotherhood of Nod has always been in C&C since the first game.

          Strangely enough, this reminds me that, at the time, even as a kind, I thought it was kind of unrealistic that there was no way that a stateless belligerent faction could amass military hardware and tech enough to threaten a global superpower across multiple different continents.

          Then Al Quuaeda and ISIS came along and did just that.

    Next step: Fighter Jets with flamethrowers.

    I am heavily disappointed at humanity for not coming up with it until now.
