    🇺🇸🇸🇦 BREAKING: Crucial E-3 Sentry Aircraft Damaged in Saudi Base Attack

    Iran’s missile and drone strike on Prince Sultan Air Base didn’t just injure 12 US troops, it also damaged an E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft, one of the US military’s most critical battlefield awareness assets.

    The E-3 tracks drones, missiles and aircraft from hundreds of miles away, giving commanders real-time situational awareness across the entire battlespace.

    “It’s a huge deal. It hurts the U.S.'s ability to see what’s happening in the Gulf and maintain situational awareness.” — Ret. Air Force Col. John Venable

    There are a limited number in the Air Force’s inventory. They cannot be replaced.
