Coalition air forces performed several strikes in Iraq, supporting ongoing anti-insurgent operations. A US Air Force F-15 launched a precision-guided munition against an insurgent weapons cache in the vicinity of Karabilah. US Navy F-14s struck a building used by insurgents in the vicinity of Husaybah with PGMs. In the vicinity of Balad, USAF F-16s unleashed PGMs, targeting anti-Iraqi forces.
The KC-Z4, a blended wing body tanker concept being developed by startup JetZero, could fuel larger groups of aircraft at longer range to hold more targets at risk, company officials say.
