An updated report from the Congressional Research Service, or CRS, now lists 81 U.S. military aircraft as lost or damaged since the United States launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran on Feb. 28. That is nearly double the 42 aircraft the research service counted in May, as Defense News reported at the time.The Oct. 5 revision adds jets damaged in a September Iranian strike on a base in Jordan, helicopter losses drawn from a Pentagon inspector general report and a sharply higher count of lost Reaper drones.CRS cautions that the total is not a count of destroyed aircraft, noting, “Some damaged aircraft may have been returned to active service.”The research service works from public information, drawing on news reports and statements from the Defense Department and U.S. Central Command. This version also draws on the inspector general report published Sept. 14. CRS said its count “may remain subject to revision due to multiple factors, which may include classification, ongoing combat activity, and attribution.”The deadliest loss on the list remains the March 12 crash of a KC-135 Stratotanker. Two of the seven KC-135s in the report were involved in an incident over friendly airspace. One crashed in western Iraq, killing all…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The U.S. military has lost or sustained damage to at least 81 aircraft during the war with Iran — nearly double the number identified five months ago, according to a new government analysis that warns replacing some of the critical vehicles could strain the military’s ability to meet demands elsewhere.The aircraft include some of the military’s most advanced fighters and critical support aircraft, as well as dozens of drones, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) noted in its report.The tally is nearly double the 42 aircraft CRS identified in May as lost or damaged, although the increase partly reflects additional information becoming publicly available and does not mean all 39 additional aircraft were lost or damaged since that assessment.ALARMING MISSILE REPORT DRAWS FORCEFUL RESPONSE FROM TRUMP AS IRAN WAR TESTS AMERICA’S ARSENAL CRS, a nonpartisan arm of the Library of Congress that provides research and analysis to lawmakers and congressional committees, identified 12 F-15E Strike Eagles, an F-35A Lightning II, seven KC-135 refueling tankers, an E-3 Sentry airborne warning-and-control aircraft and 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones among those lost or damaged since Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28, 2026.The body also warned that…

The phrase “80-20 issue” is thrown out quite a bit in spaces such as these. But Tuesday, a 95-5 issue seems to have emerged.The 95% in this case? The people on the internet bashing a piece from The Athletic that attacked WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham.Columnist Candace Buckner argued that the soon-to-be free agent was a “combustible” figure whose “turbulent” opinions were a distraction to the Indiana Fever. Never mind that Cunningham’s most publicized stance — that biological males shouldn’t compete in female sports — is shared by the vast majority of the country.This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

That the Fever must part ways with Sophie so that they “can go back to being a basketball team.” This sparked the public to break out their drivers.Among the most prominent critics teeing off was nine-time Wimbledon winner Martina Navratilova, a staunch advocate of keeping men out of women’s spaces.

Many of us have preserved everything from fruits to vegetables as jams, jellies, and pickles. A lot of us have never had a reason nor the inclination to can beef or any other meat for that matter. But there are good reasons to consider canning meats like beef. You’re concerned about the rising price of meats like beef and want to stock up before prices spike higher. You want to buy a side of beef to save money but have run out of freezer space. You live remotely and off-the-grid and simply don’t have the ability to freeze foods. You’re concerned about losing electric power and any frozen foods as a result. Beef was on sale and you stocked up but have run out of refrigerator and freezer space to store it. You want to add to your long-term food storage and want meat as a menu option in your stockpile. You value the time-saving convenience of using canned beef in recipes. You’re sick and tired of endlessly chewing on beef jerky. Whatever your reason for canning beef it’s easy to do and has a surprisingly long shelf life if processed, packaged and stored properly. The USDA recommends 2 to…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Milwaukee’s election results from Tuesday’s primary were delayed because of a “human error” in which five of the nine USB flash drives did not download the election results, prompting critics to call it a showing of “complete incompetence.”The error effectively stalled the results of the closely watched Democratic gubernatorial primary between Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Francesca Hong. The delay came amid heightened scrutiny of election administration in Democratic-led jurisdictions, where recent ballot and reporting errors have drawn criticism and, in some cases, investigations from Republican lawmakers.”We’re all human, and humans can make errors,” Paulina Gutiérrez, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, said during a midnight news conference.The error delayed the county’s election results by an hour as Gutiérrez and Milwaukee Election Commission staffers returned to Central Count with a police escort to retrieve the remaining voting data.HASAN PIKER WARNS ‘THE KNIVES WILL BE OUT’ AFTER SOCIALIST FRANCESCA HONG FALLS IN WISCONSIN UPSET “So basically what we need to do is go back to the operations center and we’re going to download out five of those machines the results and make sure that’s not the audit log,” Gutiérrez said during…

This year marked the 15th deployment of U.S. Marines to Australia under the Marine Rotation Force-Darwin (MRF-D) initiative, but this year’s rotation looked different from the rest because of its certification as a Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force (SPMAGTF).“This is the first rotation in the 15-year history of the program to be certified as a MAGTF, and that’s a big deal,” Col. George Flynn, commanding officer of MRF-D 2026, explained to Defense News.Flynn noted that being certified validates the MAGTF’s credibility and proficiency because, if called upon, a commander “knows the force is going to be able to accomplish all those tasks it’s assigned as part of its task order to facilitate operations in the theater.”“What makes it special purpose is just the uniqueness of how it’s placed here in Darwin in support of the Pacific theater,” Flynn continued. “We’re responsible for being ready for the full spectrum of operations from full-scale combat to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.”This certification process was completed in early May during an exercise in the Philippines, making “an incredible statement” on its ability to respond to crises.Flynn said MRF-D is authorized to have 2,500 personnel, but he typically has around 2,000 in his…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Stephen A. Smith had some strong words to share about Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White, even questioning how she can be in her position.The ESPN personality went on a rant calling out White for how she handled the aftermath of DiJonai Carrington’s Flagrant 2 foul on her Fever star, Sophie Cunningham, this past weekend. Carrington smacked Cunningham across the face, leading to the flagrant foul and ejection from the game.During White’s post-game news conference, she actually praised Carrington’s aggressive play before claiming she didn’t see the whole play in the moment and couldn’t comment any further on it. White has since issued a pre-rehearsed, fiery defense of herself before Tuesday’s win against the New York Liberty.”You know, this isn’t necessarily for those people that are in this room. This is more for an online community that’s trying to create narratives that simply don’t exist,” White said to reporters. “Trying to create a fabrication or distortion of who I am, of what I’m about. Our players’ success, our players’ health and wellness, our players’ safety is always a top priority for me. One of the things I pride myself on is my…
