US Military Grounds Osprey Fleet After Deadly Crash Off Coast of Japan

The US military has grounded its entire fleet of Osprey CV-22 aircraft following a deadly crash off the coast of Japan that claimed the lives of eight Air Force Special Operations Command service members. The grounding is intended to mitigate risk while the investigation into the crash continues. Preliminary findings suggest that a material failure, rather than crew error, caused the crash. The military has not provided a timeline for when the fleet will be back in operation.

"Discovery of Osprey Aircraft Wreckage and Remains Confirmed by US Air Force"

The wreckage and remains of five crew members from a U.S. Air Force Osprey aircraft that crashed off southwestern Japan have been discovered by U.S. and Japanese divers. The search operation is ongoing to recover the remains of three other crew members, while two are still missing. The U.S. military has identified one victim, and Japan has suspended all flights of its own fleet of Ospreys. Safety concerns have been raised, and Japan has asked the U.S. military to ensure their safety before resuming flights. Japan's limited authority to investigate U.S. military property makes it difficult for them to independently determine the cause of the accident.

The cause of the crash is still unknown. The U.S. Pentagon stated that U.S. Ospreys continue to operate in Japan, and it is unclear if an official request to freeze Osprey flights has been received. Ospreys have had previous crashes, raising safety concerns and controversy over their deployment in Japan.
