Why?
Because dirigibles have enormous lifting capacity, at much lower operating cots, and require much less ground support.

Really
doesn't look like it qualifies as lighter than air, it seems to have to use a runway and forward momentum to gain lift. Or maybe it's just the impression I get from the short video.

Secretly Built Zeppelin
As it lacks an internal framework, this is technically not a "Zeppelin."

put out fires?
could it cary more water than a canadair? maybe it would be good for fires since it could houver over a fire at a safe distance for the heat and drop all the water on the same spot.
ofcourse when there are big fires usually they come with strong winds so i dont know how it handles that,,,,

zeppelin
It looks very unstable because of its wide shape. Unless these have incredible lift capacity coupled with the ability to hover then I wonder what the point is

- but why ????
I like it a lot, but why ??? What purpose would it serve that conventional aircraft, whether fixed wing or helicopters couldn't. - just curious

- SkyCat
  It is called the SkyCat and it is not been secret, info about it has been around for a few years. I think this is the Skycat20, as in 20ton payload. If this works they are planning a Skycat200 and Skycat1000. There is no aircraft that can even come close to that payload. Advantages are you not tied to airfields, it can land on any open flat ground or even marshland or water. It also consumes much less fuel because you use no fuel to get the payload into the air and keep it there, the lifting gas does that. Also it is built by a British firm, not Lockheed
