What I'd like to know is why can't they make an "anti-fire bomb" that could be dropped from a conventional warjet? No aircraft conversions, just drop them using the same avionics as they do for "dumb" bombs. All those AF Reserve B-52s could be put to good use, "carpet bombing" a large area. Hell, you could even bring in FJs for rapid response (F-18s with Multiple Ejector Racks apparently carry more bombs than B-17s did).
D'ya think I'm talking crazy?
