I know after the Gulf War, when the retreating Iraqis set all those oil wells on fire, a Hungarian outfit arrived with a jet engine mounted on a tank. With over 600 wells to extinguish they wanted to blow them out like candles on a cake.

Turret-less Russian tank, (2) MiG-21 engines, inject a SLO water, and viola!
