Newsweek -The U.S. Air Force is facing a readiness crisis, with only around six out of 10 of its fleet mission-capable on an average day in fiscal year 2024, according to reports. A Defense News analysis of Air Force data found that the 62 percent mission-capable figure is the lowest in recent memory.
The Air Force's estimated fleet of 5,025 aircrafts is already the smallest in its 78-year history. A decline in mission-ready planes raises concerns about national defense capabilities, particularly amid heightened global tensions.
