You would need an insane amount of fire retardant or water to actually combat a forest first.
Places with lots of water aren’t prone to catching on fire in the first place and it would cost *alot* to fly that stuff around.

And that “pinpoint accuracy” would only be useful right when a first is starting. Literally within the first minutes. So would need thousands of drones patrolling the skies 24/7
