Japan has expressed concern over the US military's continued Osprey flights, despite a request to ground them after a fatal crash. The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, resulted in the death of one person, while the search for the remaining seven passengers continues.
Japan, a key US ally, had requested the suspension of all non-emergency V-22 Osprey flights over its territory until the plane's safety can be confirmed. However, the Pentagon stated that it was still flying Ospreys and was not aware of any official requests for them to be grounded.
In response, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno stressed that the request had been made officially and expressed concern over the continued flights without sufficient explanation from the North's military. american
The Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF), which also operate Ospreys, have announced that they will suspend flights of the transport aircraft. The deployment of Ospreys to Japan has been controversial, with critics pointing to their accident-prone nature and questioning the US military presence in the southwestern islands.
With the US maintaining its Osprey flights despite Japan's request, tensions and concerns have arisen regarding the safety and transparency surrounding the use of these aircraft.
