"We need to upgrade the tech we use to fight forest fires. In the era of cheap and capable drones we should deploy swarms of firefighting drones that can extinguish fires before they become too large. 5 water bombers to cover a whole country is ineffective (as we’re seeing now)"
Comme beaucoup de gens, j’ai des proches touchés tragiquement par les incendies en Gironde 😢. Mes pensées vont à tous ceux qui ont tout perdu, et tout mon soutien et mon respect immense 🫡 à ceux qui combattent ces monstres de flammes.

I keep seeing these firefighting drone demos. Looks good on video. But a quadcopter water balloon won't stop a crown fire. We need heavy-lift volume and domestic production, not gadgets we can't build at scale. — Joseph AgroTechie we can build these at scales, and we can use them to fight fires before they become too big — ApoStructura
