The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has demanded information from the Pentagon regarding the safety and performance of the V-22 Osprey aircraft. This comes after a series of crashes that have claimed the lives of dozens of U.S. service members. The committee is seeking assurances on the safety of the Osprey program, which has been plagued by long-term problems and has resulted in over a dozen crashes in the last 20 years. The Department of Defense has grounded all V-22 Osprey operations following a fatal crash that killed eight crew members. The committee has launched an investigation and requested documents and records related to the Osprey by January 4.
