Photos Show US E-3 AWACS Destroyed by Iranian Strike on Saudi Base

On Friday, March 27, an Iranian missile and drone attack struck Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, wounding at least 10 U.S. service members and damaging an E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system aircraft.
Earlier this week, Prince Sultan Air Base came under attack twice, including an incident that injured 14 U.S. troops; the facility serves as a central hub for U.S. air operations in the Middle East.
The E-3 Sentry provides airborne early warning and command capabilities; John Venable noted that damage could significantly affect U.S. capabilities in the region, hindering situational awareness.
US Vice President JD Vance said Washington plans to exit the conflict with Iran "soon," stressing the war will not become prolonged; more than 300 U.S. troops have been wounded overall.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned Saturday that Tehran will "retaliate strongly" if its infrastructure is attacked, as the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign struggles to contain a widening West Asia crisis disrupting 20% of global oil shipments.
