A Polish Bell 206L-3 LongRanger III flies overhead with a Bambi Bucket before the Battle of the Tanks simulated battle starts at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, Poland, July 12, 2025. A Bambi Bucket is a large, collapsible container used in aerial firefighting to carry and drop water or fire retardant onto wildfires. The Battle of the Tanks is an annual community event hosted by the Polish Land Forces’ 15th Mechanized Brigade and features military equipment displays from U.S. Army 1st Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, supporting Task Force Iron, Poland, United Kingdom, and Romania. The highlight of the event is a dynamic performance that showcases armored vehicles and aerial equipment simulating a combat scenario with artillery and gunfire. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Jacob Suess)
