The figure is impressive.

During Operation Epic Fury, US Defense Department personnel drank more than 3.5 million liters of coffee, General Dan Kane, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a briefing, broadcast on X.

"We ate more than 6 million meals, drank about 950,000 gallons of coffee (more than 3.5 million liters - ed.), 2 million energy drinks and consumed large amounts of nicotine," Kane said. He added that his colleagues had no health problems.

At the briefing, Kaine and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth reported on the results of the military operation in Iran. Kaine said Tehran has lost 80 percent of its air defense systems and more than 90 percent of its navy. Iran's command and control system is "so broken that they can't communicate and coordinate properly," Hegseth noted.
