The General Directorate of Civil Defense is showcasing its firefighting aircraft to visitors at the Ministry of Interior’s pavilion during the World Defense Show 2026, being held in Riyadh from February 8 to 12, as part of efforts to enhance safety and environmental protection.
The aircraft is designed to conduct direct and indirect aerial firefighting missions in challenging environments, rugged terrain, and remote areas. It provides rapid access to difficult locations, reduces response times with high precision, supports ground firefighting teams, and helps protect facilities and residential areas.
It features a robust structure, the capacity to carry firefighting materials, and advanced operating systems that ensure mission continuity under critical conditions. The aircraft also supports air command and control, field coordination, and firefighting operations, contributing to fire containment, the protection of lives and property, and enhanced national preparedness for natural disasters.
This showcase comes as part of the Civil Defense’s participation in the Ministry of Interior’s pavilion, where it highlights technological, security, and service solutions that strengthen the ministry’s integrated operational capabilities in decision-making, command and control, predictive intelligence, and security management, in line with its mission to achieve smart, integrated, and sustainable security.
