US Central Command Air Forces said that USAF F-15s on Oct. 10 struck a group of building being used by insurgents as firing positions near Karabilah in Iraq. The Eagles launched three GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions against the buildings to aid coalition troops in the area.
The Air Force ramped up operations and maintenance spending to keep its F-35A fighters flying over the past six years, but readiness continues to lag behind goals, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
