US Military Grounds V-22 Osprey Fleet Amid Ongoing Safety Concerns

The Pentagon has once again paused all military Osprey flights following a series of troubling incidents involving the V-22 Osprey aircraft. The latest pause comes after new metal failures were discovered in the aircraft, raising serious safety questions. This decision follows a recent near-crash that heightened scrutiny over the safety of the Osprey, and it adds to a growing list of operational restrictions. These aircraft have a history of safety issues, and the recent grounding is a response to both operational incidents and the tragic loss of eight airmen in a previous crash. The military is currently assessing the situation to ensure the safety of its personnel.
