Coalition strike aircraft flew a total of 38 close air support missions in Afghanistan and 57 in Iraq on June 28, Air Forces Central said in a release. This included F-15E Strike Eagles dropping 500-pound joint direct attack munitions and a 2,000-pound JDAM onto anti-Afghan government forces in the vicinity of Asadabad, Afghanistan, and A-10 Warthogs hitting enemy forces near Sar Hawzeh with 500-pound laser-guided bombs and 500-pound general-purpose bombs as well as cannon rounds and rockets, AFCENT said.
As it develops new weapons to attack satellites, the U.S. Space Force is focused more on ground-based efforts where the technology is more mature, the service’s top general said April 3.
