This genuinely look like some shit we would have on Command & Conquer original games
Used only once. The fire blew out and the tank was last seen at 35,000 feet over Saudi Arabia.
Do they sing happy birthday before they turn this on?
Bah! Soviet propaganda! The American Red Adair could put fires out just by glaring at them!
How much gas does it use?
Yes.
I didn't know Kuwait was playing Orks
Y'all should go watch Fires of Kuwait which is about how the world mobilized to help extinguish the oil field fires. Using novel machines like these and dynamite to extinguish and cap burning well heads.
Looks almost like a mammoth tank from Tiberian Sun.
Of course they used a T-34 chassis lmao.
Cold war era jet engines on a WWII tank for extra doohickery
With the guy in red in front it looks like something straight out of the old Dune II strategy game. A Harkonnen tank or something.
Would highly recommend the full doc that shows why Big Wind was made - Fires of Kuwait (1992) [36:05]

Once upon a time explosives were used to remove the oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere
This essentially does the same thing, it's smothering the fire
