The destruction of a US Air Force E-3 Sentry aircraft in an Iranian strike could hurt how the US tracks threats, analysts said. Images showed the damaged jet at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The aircraft is a key airborne radar system. It helps detect missiles, drones, and aircraft from long range. Military analyst Cedric Leighton called the loss a “serious blow” to surveillance. He said it may affect how the US guides jets and responds to attacks. Experts said the system is vital for real-time battle control and early warning in conflict zones. (PC: CNN)
