Russians Offer Water Bombers

The Associated Press

 MOSCOW   -   Two giant Il-76 jet airplanes capable of dumping 44 tons of
water are standing by to help fight a fire in the Los Alamos area if
needed, Russian officials said Friday.   The Russian Ministry of Emergency
Situations said it had received an official request  from the U.S. Federal
Emergency Management Agency for the airplanes, but was awaiting
confirmation before ordering the long flight to the United States.  The
airplanes were "ready to take off at any minute," said ministry official
Alexander  Zalyotov.  The four-engine Il-76MDP can water-bomb an area 500
yards by 100 yards or drop 40 fully equipped firefighters by parachute,
according to the reference book Jane's All  The World's Aircraft.
