Vital U.S. radar aircraft was destroyed by Iranian strike on U.S. base in Saudi Arabia, photos show
/100
The article reports that an Iranian strike on a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia apparently destroyed a U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control aircraft, based on geolocated photos of the wreckage. In the context of the ongoing Iran–Gulf State missile crisis, the loss of a high-value U.S. ISR platform on allied soil meaningfully raises operational risks and the potential for U.S. or allied kinetic retaliation.
