How come I can find videos of Russian be 200 everywhere, but I’ve never seen anything similar in US?
I’m confident US has no such planes ( or no good ones) or they are too expensive in US or some bullshit issues like imminent domain preventing them refilling in lakes nearby.
Where is Arial firefighting? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_firefighting.

This is just peak ignorance. A quick search says the US has 200-300 firefighting planes and even lists 6 different varieties.
The fire grew this big due to high winds from the giant winter storm earlier in the week. Winds were too high to use planes/helicopters.
