The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is working with Kyrgyz investigators to determine what transpired to lead an airman to shoot and kill a Kyrgyz truck driver last week, reports the Ganci Gazette. A USAF Security Forces airman at Manas AB, Kyrgyzstan, working at the Manas checkpoint killed the man who allegedly threatened him with a knife. The driver had gone into the security tent, waiting for his vehicle to be inspected.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
