The plane of the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, signaled an emergency over the Atlantic and turned around, heading for the UK. The windshield of the aircraft is cracked. This was announced on October 15 by Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.

"On the way back to the United States [from Brussels] after a meeting of NATO defense ministers, Minister of War Hegseth's plane made an unplanned landing in the UK due to a crack in the windshield," he wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

According to the FlightRadar service, the plane gave an emergency signal while flying over the Atlantic Ocean near the coast of Ireland. After that, he changed course and flew towards the UK. There he landed at Mildenhall Air Force Base, which is located near Cambridge. The landing of the vessel was also confirmed by Parnell.

"The plane landed in accordance with standard procedure, and everyone on board, including Minister Hegseth, is safe," he assured.
