In addition to a number of KC-135 Stratotankers that suffered various levels of damage in yesterdayโ€™s Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, a U.S. Air Force E-3G โ€œSentryโ€ Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) Aircraft also suffered significant damage in the attack, according to officials who spoke to Air & Space Forces Magazine.

The U.S. Air Force operates 16 E-3Gs, with around 40-50% of aircraft currently deployed to the Middle East for Operation Epic Fury. Productions lines for the E-3 were ceased in the 1990s, while the first airframe was retired in 2023 in preparation for the E-3 to be replaced by the E-7 Wedgetail in 2027, however, in June 2025 the Pentagon announced the cancelation of the E-7 in favour of space-based solutions, including the proposed Golden Dome, and the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials tell the Washington Post, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the Iran War, exposing U.S. personnel to an array of threats, including Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire and improvised explosive, should the decision to escalate by made by President Donald J. Trump.

Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion and could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, said the officials. Options include the possible seizure of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub in the Persian Gulf, and raids into other coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz to find and destroy weapons that can target commercial and military shipping, with one official setting the potential timeline at โ€œa couple of months.โ€

Reports suggest that the E-3G Sentry was struck while on a taxiway at Prince Sultan Air Base, meaning that the satellite images previously seen showing burn marks and damaged aircraft on the tarmac didnโ€™t even include the E-3, suggesting that at least one other aircraft, likely a KC-135 Stratotanker, was indeed destroyed in the attack by Iran.
