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.

Was this a quick trigger or was the Little League umpire well within his rights to kick this coach out of the game?During Wednesday’s Great Lakes regional finals game, with a trip to the Little League World Series on the line, Team Kentucky assistant coach Matthew Teague was ejected by the home plate umpire.Down 6-0 in the top of the 4th and running out of time for a comeback, Teague was seen meeting with one of his hitters and turning his attention to the umpire who had just called out a Kentucky hitter on a tough strike three call for the second out.IDAHO TEEN UMPIRE DELIVERS ULTIMATE REALITY CHECK TO COACH COMPLAINING ABOUT WALK-UP MUSIC”Oh boy, Matthew Teague has (been) ejected from the game,” the ESPN announcer said while adding that the umpire warned Teague not to come closer to the batter’s box.Were there words exchanged between Teague and the umpire? If so, ESPN didn’t let fans hear what was said. The network failed to play the audio from Teague, who was mic’d up.According to Little League observers on Facebook, coaches “receive a blanket warning” at the start of tournaments that there is a zero tolerance policy on arguing with…

Last month, the Marine Corps introduced new service-level training to teach Marines how to counter small combat drones with weapons currently available in their arsenal. The training commenced with a three-day event at Twentynine Palms, California, where Marines from the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions learned how to shoot down small unmanned aerial systems, or sUASs, with rifles, shotguns and grenade launchers, according to a recent release. Capt. Faith Richardson, a platoon commander with the Tactical Training and Exercise Control Group, said in the release that they aimed to give Marines “a realistic look at the threat.”For the exercise, TTECG created counter-sUAS lanes where Marines engaged simulated enemy drones from distances as close as 20 meters, or around 65 feet. Controlled by members of TTECG, nicknamed “Coyotes,” the drones reach speeds at over 90 miles per hour. “The intent of the C-sUAS lanes was to build the confidence of our Marines to target sUAS and complete the mission,” Richardson added. Inside the lane, Marines practiced using an assortment of weapons, including the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle, the M1014 shotgun, and M32A1 and M320 grenade launchers as well as electronic anti-drone weapons. In addition to the live-fire training, the event included…
Open carry — the wearing of a holstered gun in plain view in public — has become a hot-button issue among our nation’s pistol-packers. There are, naturally, talking points on both sides of the debate. A few years ago, Mark Walters invited me to join a panel on this topic on his popular show, Armed America Radio. One of the panelists was an outspoken advocate of open carry. Another was a law enforcement officer just as adamantly opposed to the practice. I was the one in the middle on the issue. Open carry means wearing a holstered handgun in plain view, like this 1911 worn during a game of billiards. Whether that visibility deters trouble or invites it is the heart of the debate. I was reminded during that show of the NRA official who long ago said that in polarized debates, the only things in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead skunks. Given the intensity of emotions on this issue, the middle of the road is not a comfortable place to be … yet here I am. The Talking Points: Pro The arguments put forth in favor of openly carrying handguns in public seem to boil…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who carried the nuclear “football” for former President Bill Clinton says the extraordinary Air Force One shell game departing Ankara, Turkey last month to protect President Donald Trump from a potential attack was hardly unprecedented.”It was brilliant,” retired Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson told Fox News Digital. “I wish I had been a part of it. That’s how well done it was.”But Patterson is warning that exposing the vital national security secrets behind such operations could put presidents, military personnel and the White House press corps in danger for years to come.Patterson served as Clinton’s senior military aide for a period of two years and was responsible for the president’s emergency satchel, and in a 20-minute interview Wednesday, he explained how presidential decoys, aircraft swaps and other acts of deception are longstanding tools used to protect the commander in chief, his senior officials and the “privileged” Air Force One press corps.TRUMP USED CATERING TRUCK, AIR FORCE ONE DECOY TO EVADE IRAN THREAT: REPORTWhat alarms him, Patterson said, is not that Trump’s security team used the tactic – including the catering truck sleight of hand he was…
