Operation Phantom Fury (President McCain)

Operation Phantom Fury was a U.S special operations mission authorized by U.S president John McCain in 2007 in order to secure former Soviet nuclear weapons stockpiles in Uzbekistan that had the potential to be used by terrorists. The operation was successful after U.S Navy Seals secured a ex Soviet nuclear warhead during an intense firefight outside the Uzbek capital of Tashkent with former Al-Qaeda terrorists that claimed the lives of several U.S Navy Seals. In total the United States lost 14 Navy seals one Chinook helicopter and an army ranger.
