Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder speaks during a press briefing at the Pentagon, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, in Washington. WASHINGTON — Japan has grounded its fleet of V-22 Osprey aircraft again after an incident last Sunday where one of the hybrid helicopter-aircraft tilted unexpectedly and hit the ground while trying to take off.
It was the first major incident for Japan’s V-22 fleet since an Osprey crash last November killed eight Air Force Special Operations Command service members and led to a months long grounding of the entire fleet in both Japan and the U.S. The Osprey in last Sunday’s incident was able to land and no one was injured, however Japan will keep its fleet of more than a dozen V-22s grounded while it investigates the incident, Defense Minister Gen Nakatani told reporters last week.
The Pentagon’s V-22 joint program office is supporting Japan’s investigation into the incident, spokesman Neil Lobeda said Saturday.
