U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane heavily damaged by Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan U.S. Air Base, Saudi Arabia.
The plane was left out in the open. Russia is believed to have given the Iranians its coordinated position @realDonaldTrump.
There are now only 15 left of these very valuable planes.
Losing one of its increasingly rare AWACS—especially one that was apparently being actively used in current operations—could hamper the Air Force’s ability to manage battlefields, airpower experts said.
“The loss of this E-3 is incredibly problematic, given how crucial these battle managers are to everything from airspace deconfliction, aircraft deconfliction, targeting, and providing other lethal effects that the entire force needs for the battle space,” said Heather Penney, a former F-16 pilot and director of studies and research at AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
