You have to know how to use helicopters: the pilot must have experience,
and the ground crews must be able to coordinate the drops.
And the rest of the Cossacks and various fire brigrades.
As a result: an important facility is burning there,
plus there is a strong wind, they've driven everything they could
The is almost always done on the coast"
