Alert: The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

Yes, the Russians are coming to help fight fires here in California with their amphibious Be-200 firefighting aircraft. The plan has not yet been finalized, just a handshake agreement between Russia and US. The Be-200 aircraft will be stationed in Santa Maria. Yes, we could use their help. Keep you posted. Cough, cough

I would trust the Russians YEARS before Hillary.

AND very many in the US federal bureaucracy.

AND a lot of Generals and Admirals, too.

Sure hope the Russians don’t pick up Marxism from the Californians while they’re there.

This is what nations must do to build goodwill and trust. I am sure this will render leftists to upset to be diddling the help and raping the neighbors children.

I believe the Russians offered this plane a couple of years before.

They were turned down apparently by Moonbeam, his Eco Thugs and Obama.

Moonbeam needs to be expatriated to North Korea.

"Beriev Be-200 ... it has a capacity of 12 tonnes (12,000 liters, 3,170 US gallons) of water ... Four retractable water scoops, two forward and two aft of the fuselage step can be used to scoop a total of 12 tonnes of water in 14 seconds. The aircraft can empty its water tanks over the site of a fire in 0.8 to 1.0 seconds when flying above the minimum drop speed of 220 km/h (135 mph, 120 kn)"

BE-200 in action. Kick ass plane.

If you would rather your money go closer to home, the CanadaAir 215 turboprop does a good job

I googled Beriev BP-200. El neato aircraft. Twin turbofans mounted high & to the rear to avoid spray.

Unlike our ill-fated Martin SeaMaster flying boat of the 1950’s.

Russians flew it to the Mediterranean to fight forest fires in Israel set by muzzies. So, Obama turned down their assistance in CA, another reason to hate that worthless jerk!

If Russian leaders could get their political ideology turned around, I would love to see a strong alliance between our two countries.

Yeah, they’d need to drop their support for and Christianity and start promoting homosexuality before they can have an alliance with us.

"Coulson's water bomber has had trouble getting work lately, he acknowledged.

Neither the governments of British Columbia nor Alberta offered the Coulson Group firefighting contracts during the recent wildfire season, prompting the decision to put both Hawaii Mars and Philippine Mars on the market.

The asking price is $3 million for each.

"We're going to be very selective on where these airplanes go. They're aviation royalty," said Coulson, whose company has been working with the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, on the trade of the Philippine Mars. "
