US Air Force F-15s and F-16s performed air strikes in the vicinity of Salman Pak, Iraq, on Jan. 4, according to CENTAF. The F-15s fired two precision-guided munitions against an enemy weapons cache, while the F-16s launched two PGMs, destroying an improvised explosive device location, both with successful effects.
The Air Force on Jan. 6 released nearly a dozen photos of F-22 and F-35 fighters returning to Puerto Rico after supporting the raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—the first official images of forces who participated in Operation Absolute Resolve.
