The US had only 16 of these in total. It seems there is a second one also hit. Last year they had only 55% of the fleet available at any point in time. So they have now about six available now for operations...worldwide...

Much harder to coordinate air attacks without these.

Iran has now released their own images from their satellites. Shows the U.S. Air Force E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft damaged on the runway.

See update at bottom of the story: https://www.twz.com/air/images-purportedly-show-e-3-sentry-t...

Also reported damage to five refuel airplanes...

The Oklahoman and Jerusalem Post are also reporting it was a total write off.

The back fell off, it's no big deal!

This but a scratch...
