Another E-3 Destroyed by Iran. Why? Because land-based aircraft on the ground are far more vulnerable to attack by missiles than carrier-based planes.
Staggering images appear to show catastrophic damage sustained by a US Air Force jet following an Iranian missile strike that seriously injured American troops.
The photos reportedly taken at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, show the destroyed remains of an aircraft.
The jet which was hit was identified by Air and Space Forces magazine as an E-3G 'Sentry' airborne warning and control aircraft.
The plane is one of the US military's most critical eyes in the sky and was reportedly left ravaged following a strike by at least six ballistic missiles on Friday.
Around 15 service members were injured in the attack, including five seriously, PBS reports.

Had Donald Trump and his ignorant sidekick Pete Hegseth put more AIRCRAFT CARRIERS in the region, E-2D Hawkeyes could launch from the carriers and refuel in mid-air (from carrier-based aircraft), with far less risk to planes and crews as the carrier would be constantly moving and would be protected by anti-air and anti-missile cruisers and destroyers.
