When there was that International effort to put out all the fires in the Kuwaiti oil fields, an Eastern Bloc vehicle like this showed up. T-72 chassis with a mig-21 jet engine mounted on top. They would aim the exhaust at the fires be snuffed out, and right after the tailpipe was a massive fire hose injection of seawater.
So you got the full blast effect of a jet engine blowing full power sea water. There’s a cool National Geographic video about it called “The fires of Kuwait”.
