Nainital Forest Fire: Bambi Bucket being used by an IAF helicopter to fight forest fires | Oneindia
The Indian Air Force deployed its MI 17 V5 helicopter on Saturday (April 27) to combat the forest fires ravaging the Nainital district in Uttarakhand, as confirmed by the state’s Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami.
Utilising a "Bambi Bucket," the helicopter retrieved water from Bhimtal Lake, situated near Nainital, and discharged it onto the flames engulfing the forests.
Here's an insight into the Bambi Bucket and its inception.
Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer.
The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites.
