00:19Obliterated, burned, crippled, Iran's latest strike has ripped through one of America's
00:25most critical military hubs in the Middle East. Prince Sultan Air Base, once a fortress of U.S.
00:31airpower, now lies scarred after a precision Iranian missile and drone assault. An advanced
00:38U.S. surveillance aircraft, destroyed. Refueling tankers, wiped out. Dozens of troops, wounded.
00:45As the war enters its second month, this may be one of the most damaging blows yet to U.S.
00:51military capability in the region.
00:57The attack came in waves. At least six ballistic missiles, followed by nearly 30 drones.
01:04Iran's target? Not just infrastructure, but high-value assets. Satellite images now reveal
01:10the destruction of an E-3G Sentry, one of the U.S. Air Force's most advanced airborne radar and
01:17command aircraft. The strike appears deliberate, hitting the aircraft's radar dome, the heart of
01:23its surveillance system. This isn't just damage. It's a direct hit on U.S. battlefield awareness.
01:35The losses don't stop there. A U.S. refueling aircraft has been completely destroyed. At least
01:41three more damaged, taken out of operation. These tankers are critical. They keep fighter jets in the
01:48air, extend missions, and sustain strikes. Without them, range shrinks. Reach weakens. And suddenly,
01:55air dominance isn't guaranteed. Inside the base, American personnel were caught in the blast. At
02:08least 12 to 15 U.S. troops wounded, several in serious condition. This isn't the first time. Earlier
02:15strikes had already injured more soldiers. And across the war, over 300 U.S. troops have been wounded,
02:22at least 13 killed since the conflict began. The cost is rising. And it's no longer just strategic.
02:29It's human.
02:35This strike sends a message loud and clear. Iran is not just retaliating. It is targeting capability.
02:44Air bases, surveillance systems, force multipliers. Prince Sultan Air Base, once seen as secure,
02:50has now been hit multiple times. Despite advanced defenses, Iran's missiles and drones are getting
02:57through. One base hit. Multiple aircraft lost. Troops wounded. And a message delivered. This war is far
03:05from under control. As the conflict intensifies, the question is no longer who strikes harder, but who
03:12who can endure longer? Subscribe to OneIndia and never miss an update. Download the OneIndia app now.
