Britain gets 'life-saving' super-vehicle with hose so powerful it can cut through plane

mirror.co.uk:

Military firefighters are getting a life-saving new £700,000 flame-battering super-vehicle which smashes through a warplane's tough outer skin to put out fires.

The nozzle of the “Striker” can pummel through the walls of the plane and empty a tank of 1,800 litres of water into the insides of the plane within a minute.

Depending on the type of fire it is the nozzle can also spray 3,600 litres of fire destroying foam within a minute of the crew smashing into the plane with the nozzle.

Firemen and woman based at military bases throughout the UK and in places like Cyprus and the Falklands are getting 33 of the Striker fire vehicles to help rescue air crews within seconds.
