陸自もオスプレイ飛行見合わせ　米軍停止受け、安全確認まで

　米軍が輸送機オスプレイの飛行を一時停止したことを受け、陸上自衛隊は１０日、保有する「Ｖ２２オスプレイ」も当面の間、飛行を見合わせると発表した。陸自は「米側から連絡があり、詳細判明まで安全確保を優先する」としている。停止の原因や技術的対策について米側に確認中という。
　陸自は現在オスプレイを千葉県の木更津駐屯地に暫定配備。大規模災害発生時などの任務を除き、訓練を含めた全飛行を停止する。陸自オスプレイは１０月に沖縄・与那国島で操縦ミスにより事故を起こし、１１月１５日に運用を再開したばかりだった。（2024/12/10-16:59）

Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force said Tuesday that it will suspend flights of its fleet of V-22 Osprey transport aircraft for the time being, after the U.S. military temporarily halted flights of its own V-22 fleet.
   The GSDF said that it has been notified of the suspension by the United States, and that it will give top priority to ensuring safety until further details are shared.
   The GSDF will pause flights of its V-22 Ospreys, temporarily deployed at Camp Kisarazu in Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo, except for duties such as a deployment in a large-scale disaster.
   U.S. media reported Monday that the U.S. military has suspended flights of its V-22 Osprey fleet to determine if additional safety measures are necessary after a near crash at a U.S. air base in New Mexico in November.
   The November accident is believed to have been potentially caused by weakened metal components.
