Nournews: The aerial team consists of two AT-8T water-bombing aircraft and an H60 turboprop helicopter, each with a water-carrying capacity of over 3,000 liters. After refueling in Ardabil, they will be deployed to the Elite region.

These aircraft have considerable capability for taking off and landing on short runways, as well as scooping water from seas and lakes. One of them is especially suited for fighting fires in forests, rangelands, and hard-to-access areas.

The flight group is expected to depart for Mazandaran Province within minutes.
