A huge nest of hornets responsible for a wave of terror and one death was assaulted by army units in a bid to annihilate it.
The gigantic hornet nest, 1.6m wide and situated out of reach up a tree, had recently been responsible for numerous hornet attacks, including one fatality, and was forcing many villagers to take lengthy detours if they wished to avoid being stung.
With the local fire brigade unable to fell the tree due to the nearby buildings, an urgent call for assistance was made, and it was answered by a nearby PLA reconnaissance battalion, who dispatched a squad armed with flamethrowers to the scene, complete with chemical warfare suits and anti-bee nets.
Two bursts from their flamethrowers reduced the nest to flaming mass of scorched insects.

kill a few hornets
start a forest fire
hmmm
Just so you know, flamethrowers are also a viable method to CONTROL forest fires.
Start small fires and burn all foliages around the path of the forest fire and you ensure no fuel to feed the advancing burning tide.
Thats downright badass imo. I fukken hate bees >:(
better learn the difference between hornets and bees.
yeah, they're even more vicious. those fuckers can multihit with a fucking high base damage!
Now thats getting things done lolz.
Rocks and Twigs = Fuck...
Pesticide = Meh...
Flamethrower = Fuck Yeah!
Rocket Launcher = Profit?
Gundam = *Meteor song plays*
Bahamut = OVERKILL!
There's nothing more dangerous than a wounded mosquito. Or a nest of wounded chinese hornets.
EAST IS RED
EAST ON FIRE!
Okay, that IS pretty cool..!
That's so cool.
I dont know if its been said but in America it is LEGAL in every state to own a flame thrower for pest control.
hell yeah, that's how it's done, son.
Best method ever.
whether it's bigass hornets or alien xenomorphs, a flame unit is usually the best answer.
kill it with fire!!!!!
finally chinese military suppresses something people want suppressed.
A hornet made a nest on my porch deck, and I don't have a problem with it. They mind their business, and I go about mine. Why kill something that only does what is in its nature, without knowledge of good and evil.
Because it's fun - and you get to use fire.
And, later when you are lamenting the death of a loved one from the hornets, do recall your words of compassion for nature.
At least these guys have a reason to scorch it, unlike a police officer tasing a defenseless 10 yr old girl just for refusing a bath.
SCREW YOU, NATURE!
Nearby buildings? WTF, it's in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, I call BS on this story... probably just a photo from a training activity.
But you can see the nest.
Hot.
That sounds like something that would be a skit on the old 'Home Improvement' TV series show. I am amazed China didn't call for an all out Nuclear Bomb attack to make sure all the hornets were disposed of.
Because hornets might survive a nuclear fallout.
But fire kills them no problem.
Looking at a soldier using a flamethrower always makes me feel weird...
Does all western country armies have flamethrowers in their arsenal too ?
I mean, that's a really vicious weapon, and I don't quite see how it can be Geneva Conventions-compatible in a war context. OK, you can burn a forest down with it, but there's safer methods to do it.
ever played call of duty V?
It's super effective!!!
Critical hit!!!
OverKill +1
The Chinese will do whatever it takes to take down any threat to there country even Incects. They would send an Army after Mad Dog who has attack the local population.
hell yeah, that's how it's done!
I have to say this:
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!
Flamethrower pest control? I could make a most lucrative business out of this.
This reminds me of when my dad got pissed at a spider and shot it with a .45... He didn't like spiders...
Don't really see the problem here. It was 1.6 meters wide! (That's over 5 feet for you yanks)
No real subtle way of dealing with that.
almost like how i have tons of holes in my wall from when my tarantula escaped and i had to shoot it ( he didnt exactly like me)
China: Bad architecture, censorship, punching Tibetans, public nudity, and flamethrowers. I suppose it could be worse.
stupid but effective
"Kill it with fire!"
Heh, now you just have to admit China can't be all that bad when they do things this awesome!
haha... they called in the fire brigade first, then the flamethrower regiment.
if water doesn't water, always use FIRE!!!
Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-YOGAAAA FIIIIIREEEEE!
YOGA FLAME!
This is CHINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA \o/
I thought the Chinese government only condoned that level of violence on buddhist monks.
Charizard used Flamethrower.
Beedrill takes 1337 damage.
Beedrill faints
Charizard gained 10 EXP.
fuck yea!
Well it worked haha, as lnog as it didnt burn anything else its fine.
Fuck Yea!!!
this is a perfect example of military weapon put to good use
They have to do something with that army.
At least its useful, killing bugs, helping villagers. Until it starts.
If there was a 2m nest on a tree in a city, there'll be the code red signal. Soldiers and tanks, along with all their advanced helicopters and jet planes gather in the city and evacuate everyone. Armed with the all-newest weaponry, they stand in a line as they preapared for the takedown of a hornets' nest.
Once the signal is given, soldiers fire their all-heavy machine guns and tanks fired. helicopters go rocket launchers and jet planes shoot missiles and take down the tree.
After 3 long hours, the nest was finally exterminated. Soldiers high-five with each other to commend on a job well-done. Unfortunately this 3-hour emergency situation caused half of the whole city to be destroyed..
... that's what I would like to see happen in China...
I once used a CO2 laser to kill a hornets nest.
For once China does it right. Ironically, it's extermination.
What, 1.6m? Did they actually choose to go up there and measure it?
No, they used the shadow cast by the tree and the position of the sun to measure the tree's height, this then allowed them to deduce the size of the nest, duh.
That's the way to deal with hornets! Where I live, they're a protected species and you can be fined if you dare to harm one even if it's about to sting you >_>
lol so what are you supposed to do?
Ask the government to relocate them?
no, the government shoots you with a flamethrower if you did something to the hornets.
In soviet russia :P
That's exactly what they tell you to do. That and "But they're completely harmless! They NEVER sting unless provoked! If you get attacked it's your fault!" etc. etc.
And we don't even have something like PETA here...
Please, hornets are provoked the moment you enter their personal space. Why don't THEY go near a hornet's nest?
hell yeah! lets burn!!!!!
china can use dinamite too
dynamite is fine to
pure ownage
They should have dropped a bomb instead.
Not bombs. Napalm!
they should use a c4 to blow up the tree instead
Dave would've done that with a Ford airbag.
I seen that video it was funny he seems to get a lot of hornets.
I found the most effective hornet dispatching tool
ironically is not fire but water from a 3500psisg pressure washer.
Pesticide is for pussies, way 2 go China.
that's like using a frag grenade to kill a housefly....
if they called an airstrike i've would agree with you
still, its an epic win especially for the one using the flamethrower, he may think "Finally i can burn something".
Need a light?
nuclear launch detected
is there something burning? fsht! Ha, that's what i thought!
i wish they'd finish and release Starcraft 2
They should have brought in tanks and put them in siege mode.
I wonder how do they kill cockroaches...
Machine guns?
Actually, if they have a massive cockroach infestation that happens to be immune to all forms of pesticides, the answer will still be flamethrowers.
Ants? Well, fill up ant-holes with oil and then light it up!
In case of zerg rush, kill it with fire.
Reminds me of Ichigeki Sacchu!! Hoi Hoi-san
Didn't you know? Roaches can survive even a thermonuclear explosion and the resulting fallout. the Chinese would be will advised to think carefully before declaring a War on Roaches.
Still flamethrower against hornet nest? Priceless...
Fallout and radiation yes. You'd need fireproof roaches to survive a nuclear fireball.
No, machine guns are used to exterminate ants..
Nope, to hunt a mosquito you definitely require a trusty bazooka.
(Ask me about self-defense against both single _AND_ multiple grapes.)
I see what you did there, Herr Flipperwald gersput!
For once, I think China is awesome.
China u so crazy
Burn baby, burn~
Disco Inferno!
they should bring the flamethrower tank...
OVERKILL~~!!
You say overkill,
I say EFFICIENT~~~
you say EFFICIENT,
i say CHINA~~~
Or just get black lotus to hack into the hornet nest. After all, compared to those GLA excuses for buildings a hornet nest is very high tech.
i got plenty of bullets to spare!
Let loose the juice! Give generously!
SUPATA!!
Bring out the dragon tank!!
I say MULTIKILL.
Based on the nest size it's over 900.
I assume you meant 9000 but whatever >.>
Still the coolest way to get rid of hornets I have ever seen and will always remember for future reference lol :)
