Iran’s military is flaunting its recent strike on a U.S. Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft at a Saudi airbase — an asset valued around $700 million and a cornerstone of U.S. aerial surveillance — and is warning of further attacks on U.S. F‑15E warplanes. According to Iranian statements, the strike at Prince Sultan Air Base destroyed or heavily damaged the AWACS aircraft, signaling a bold escalation in the ongoing conflict and showcasing Iran’s capability to target high‑value U.S. military assets. The announcement comes amid broader regional tensions and reflects Tehran’s intent to challenge U.S. air dominance.

00:21Greetings, Hajmadi Rasooli.
00:23As you yourself say, I am Rostum the Mighty, and I deliver decisive blows.
00:29We, the 2000s generation, with our drones and aerospace, have just learned how to fight
00:35you.
00:36We've drawn upon the experience of our elders, but with the speed of our own generation,
00:41we will steal sleep from your eyes.
00:44You can be absolutely certain of this without a doubt.
00:46We make a solemn pledge to the proud and valiant people of Iran, to those who have stood their
00:51ground firmly in the streets, to those who were out on the streets night after night.
00:55We promise them this.
00:56We are standing on the front lines in the thick of it.
00:58We are the loyal soldiers of Iran.
01:01We will remain loyal to Iran until our very last drop of blood.
01:27Iran's latest strike has ripped through one of America's most critical military hubs in
01:32the Middle East.
01:33First, Prince Sultan Air Base, once a fortress of U.S. air power, now lies scarred after a
01:39precision Iranian missile and drone assault.
01:42An advanced U.S. surveillance aircraft, destroyed, refueling tankers, wiped out, dozens of troops,
01:50wounded.
01:50As the war enters its second month, this may be one of the most damaging blows yet to U.S.
01:57military capability in the region.
02:03The attack came in waves.
02:05At least six ballistic missiles, followed by nearly 30 drones, Iran's target, not just infrastructure, but high-value assets.
02:14Satellite images now reveal the destruction of an E3G Sentry, one of the U.S. Air Force's most advanced airborne
02:22radar and command aircraft.
02:23The strike appears deliberate, hitting the aircraft's radar dome, the heart of its surveillance system.
02:29This isn't just damage, it's a direct hit on U.S. battlefield awareness.
02:40The losses don't stop there.
02:43A U.S. refueling aircraft has been completely destroyed.
02:46At least three more damaged, taken out of operation.
02:50These tankers are critical.
02:52They keep fighter jets in the air, extend missions, and sustain strikes.
02:57Without them, range shrinks, reach weakens, and suddenly, air dominance isn't guaranteed.
03:09Inside the base, American personnel were caught in the blast.
03:13At least 12 to 15 U.S. troops wounded, several in serious condition.
03:18This isn't the first time.
03:20Earlier strikes had already injured more soldiers.
03:23And across the war, over 300 U.S. troops have been wounded.
03:28At least 13 killed since the conflict began.
03:31The cost is rising, and it's no longer just strategic, it's human.
03:41This strike sends a message loud and clear.
03:45Iran is not just retaliating.
03:47It is targeting capability.
03:49Air bases, surveillance systems, force multipliers.
03:53Prince Sultan Air Base, once seen as secure, has now been hit multiple times.
03:58Despite advanced defenses, Iran's missiles and drones are getting through.
04:03One base hit, multiple aircraft lost, troops wounded, and a message delivered.
04:09This war is far from under control.
04:12As the conflict intensifies, the question is no longer who strikes harder, but who can endure longer?
