Chinese engineers have successfully put military industrial technologies into a fire-fighting missile system aimed at putting out highrise fires. The system has recently won the necessary technical approval from related authorities.

The system, mounted on a carrier truck, can fire 24 missiles to heights up to 400 meters.

When the missile fired from the truck hits the target area, the fire-extinguishing agent it carries would be sprayed out upon impact and put out fire around.

"The fire-fighting missile system's carrier truck could be deployed to the site according to the actual situation and the missiles could be fired at targets 100 up to 400 meters away," said Qiu Xuyang, the chief designer of the Highrise Fire-fighting Missile System of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

The system could be ready in just three minutes after being deployed at any fire site, according to Qiu.
