U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules in action during the L.A. wildfires!
The crews apart of the aviation element from various contractors conducting water-bombing operations during the 2025 Los Angeles wild fires have done a fantastic and heroic job in serving the community and doing the best they can to save lives and property.
U.S. Air Force reserves and various Air National Guard units operating the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules aircraft with the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) are now supporting Cal Fire deploying to L.A. to assist the assets in the air and on the ground.
In this video we see how the MAFFS module is installed for firefighting operations in L.A. and ride onboard with the California Air National Guard's MAFFS #6 C-130J supporting firefighting efforts against Palisades Fire.
To all the fire fighting crews on the ground and in the air we hope you all stay safe, and thank you for your service.

Calif gets military help, lots of News coverage vs Lahaina, Tennessee, N Carolina doesn't get much at all.
Someday drones will automatically be disbursed to hit them fires fast . Scoop in the ocean , the drones will have the AI chips and be paying attention to other drones and the fires action , my guess is within 5 years , Drones will have the capability to run the fires over , Fast !
OUR VERY OWN MILITARY! GOTTA LOVE GOD FOR ALL THE HELP. BY THE GRACE OF GOD CALIFORNIA WILL SURVIVE. AMEN

Salute to air crews flying such dangerous missions
Wonderful to witness our Air Fire Warriors. Thanks to all of you.
302nd Airlift Wing, Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado, is the only Air Force Reserve unit supporting the aerial firefighting mission.
Good to see many different Air Guard Units , contrators and others helping out ! By the way how much water does the MAFFS moduel hold ?
3000 galons.
@@SierraCAP Wow ! That (at 7 pounds a gallon) is 21,000 pounds !
Bitchin' Footage!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant job 👍 ❤ the Hercules
People cheering in the comments don't understand the disrespect for getting 12 year old drone technology. funny how the US & UK wants to share such old tech.first the Apache helicopter and now this.. Nobody ever gives us our props on what we sacrificed for all the wars we have participated in. We have been all around the world showing our respect and loyalty. nobody mentions us in the post war films or services across the world. NOW USA wants to go to war with china threw Taiwan we get some 10 year old tec to help. As a young Australian who did cadets growing up because he wanted to serve... now I look at history and current date and it has me second guessing my dream of joining the army. Nobody respects us. we are just used for numbers and as the us says "they are just our unsinkable aircraft carrier"... China is our #1 trade partner and the reason we can currently live the life that we live... even though we complain about cost of living.. we are happy to go into a great depression so the USA can fight China through Taiwan. I think our military in charge better start opening his eyes and ears and start collecting new tech and trade agreements. I think the USA better start buying our iron if we go to war aye? Think ill pass on the military after this
Buy more for country😊
🇭🇲 Attaboy...🇭🇲💪
It’s crazy how this boomer can carry 16 NUKE booms with could kill millions of people, it all the other advanced weapons technology we have here in Australia I do hope that China will think twice before deciding to attack Australia!
👍
It goes without question, the need for such a projection of force is required as a deterrent. Something our NZ partners have seemingly ignored, forgotten or just plainly didn't care to take into consideration.🦘🇭🇲♥️👻👽
Gassr, i wanta know how he got that nickname. haha. sounds like a dutch oven type guy. haha.
I bet he farted in the mess/barracks (Gassr), when i was on warships, there was a guy, propulsion (stoker). "2dogs", haha. you do not need to know that guy got up0to in Japan. haha.
2 dogs showed me his vibration thingie Vag. I did associate with 2 dogs much, good guy, but not my sorta guy. haha. busted him on the bridge with a trannie in Japan, when i was doing rounds on duty. i checked the charthouse and left fast. haha.
Thanks to the forced agreements and the Australian taxpayers .
Damn that was QUICK. I assumed these were arriving in like a decade lol
Complete waste of money ! 😂
Overpriced high maintenance unreliable shit, good one Australia! Goes hand in hand with the overpriced subs, good one dumb auss
This video and the thinking behind it exemplifies the difference between Australian military and the stunted bewildered UK
Very good republice of korea airforce!
You would think America would supply its allies with tech at a much lower cost, Having high tech weaponry spread around the world to its allies would be a smarter move than having them all only in the states
@@MrMarkguth but then they would not be able to threaten their allies. There can only be one super bully. We have been scammed
Why don’t Australia by 2-3 each year rather than wait 2 decades to buy a fleet of aged technology
By the time we Australians obtain any new weapons, they are aged
You guys need a carrier
And NZ has...would be fighter pilots who will now migrate to Australia. Well done Australia for maintaining a superb strike force.
Pinged by Iran, so, therefore, scrap metal. Scammed by USA who would have imagined. 😂 Trouble is with these clunkers and submarines we will pay for but might never see my grandchildren will be paying for this rubbish
Ripped off by the US, F35 is a flying turd.
Probably for the best we got them all before Elon gets his fiddly fingers involved with the F-35. 🦘
Australia buying them is the biggest waste of tax payers money, tell me this. 1. How many of ours are early production models that cannot be used in combat. 2. How many of ours that are combat ready but cannot be upgraded to block 4 3. How many of ours are able to be upgraded to block 4 at massive cost to us taxpayers
An aircraft that is a total failure barely works and has severe limitations. Taxpayers bombed for billions by Lockheed. 25 years late for delivery it was supposed to be out of service in 2040 that's now 2070 the greatest failure in the history of military aviation
Wow, we made it!
Great work guys. What amazing powerful machines!

@@yfelwulf Pierre Sprey, is that you?
Rather the F22, Shame the U.S does not allow anyone else to Purchase them
as long as the US are happy
Shame they aren’t good at anything. Wonder why Australia cancelled the next purchase of them and sticking with the super hornet and growler. To fill in a capability gap I bet.
Had to look up what a Growler is. Ah, electronic counter measures (ECM).
RIP
We would prefer the Aussie aquire the B-21 to add to its low observable operations. Both platforms complete the package.
What a waste of money these flying slugs are
do some research about it before saying something completely wrong and idiot like this. you're just embarrassing yourself
And all of these top pilots will be gone replaced by AI. What a waste of money these are.
Yeah boyz! 🇦🇺💪
Great, we get some fat amy's for our air force, where are the B1's and F15EX's.
