AWACS annihilated at Saudi airbase, Iranian missile and drone swarm split US surveillance giant

Fresh reporting suggests Iran’s March 27 strike on Prince Sultan Air Base may have caused serious damage to high-value U.S. aircraft, including an E-3 Sentry airborne warning aircraft and multiple KC-135 tankers. Air & Space Forces said multiple U.S. personnel were wounded and some aircraft were damaged, while The Aviationist, citing imagery and subsequent reporting, said the E-3 appears effectively destroyed and several KC-135s were damaged, though the full extent remains unclear.
