Verified pictures have emerged showing a US command and control aircraft, specifically an E-3 Sentry, destroyed at the Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia. Initial observations suggest the aircraft was split in two, with images first shared on a military-focused Facebook page. The footage has been confirmed to match locations seen in satellite images. US Central Command has yet to issue a public statement on the matter. A US official noted that twelve US personnel were injured in this attack, with two in serious condition. Furthermore, Iranian sources have reported that a drone strike was responsible for the damage to the E-3 aircraft. The aircraft plays a vital role in military operations, providing early warning and control over airspace, tracking potential threats at long distances.
