JUST RELEASED | New @CSISDefense data shows Russia has lost the military initiative in Ukraine as costs continue to mount, having suffered 1.4 million battlefield casualties and as many as 450,000 deaths since its February 2022 full-scale invasion. This is over four times more battlefield deaths in 4.5 years than the U.S. has suffered in every conflict since World War II.

On July 1 at 3:30 a.m. ET, the aircrew of an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter assigned to USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) conducted an emergency water landing in the Arabian Sea. There is no indication the emergency was caused by hostile action. Three of the helicopter’s four crew members have been recovered and are in stable condition aboard George H. W. Bush. U.S. Navy assets in the region are currently searching for other aircrewman still missing. The cause of incident is under investigation.
