US AWACS destroyed on ground in Saudi strike raises fresh questions over airbase protection
An American E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft has been destroyed on the ground in Saudi Arabia in a long-range Iranian strike, with several KC-135 refuelling tankers also damaged and US personnel injured.
The US Air Force has only 16 of the ageing airborne early warning aircraft left, with only around half flying at any one time, making the loss a big blow to the American air campaign.
