Not Just ‘Damaged’ but Obliterated: Images of US AWACS Jet At Saudi Airbase

Images have emerged revealing that the Wall Street Journal’s initial report that the half-billion-dollar aircraft was merely “damaged” was an enormous understatement. Rather, a large portion of the fuselage has been obliterated, along with the distinctive 30-foot-diameter, 6-foot-thick rotating radar dome that’s mounted atop AWACS aircraft. We took a closer look at the photo set here

The images of the destroyed E-3 Sentry were first posted on the Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page:

  • Not just ‘damaged’ but obliterated: images show destroyed US AWACS jet at Saudi Airbase. 

“The loss of this E-3 is incredibly problematic, given how crucial these battle managers are to everything from airspace deconfliction, aircraft deconfliction, targeting, and providing other lethal effects that the entire force needs for the battle space,” Heather Penney, a former F-16 pilot and director of studies and research at AFA’s Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, told Air & Space Forces Magazine. If this has been carefully kept under wraps until now, what else is the White House and Pentagon not telling the public?

UAE Slams Iran with Billions in Frozen Assets and Boots Iranian Residents
The United Arab Emirates is hitting Iran where it hurts most. In a sharp escalation amid ongoing regional conflict, the UAE has moved to freeze billions in Iranian-linked assets held in the Gulf and begun canceling residency permits for Iranians, including coveted Golden Visas.

This is no minor slap. For years, Dubai served as Iran’s go-to financial backdoor, letting Tehran dodge sanctions through shadow companies, currency exchanges, and informal networks that funneled hard currency and kept the regime afloat. Those days appear over.
 
Reports confirm the UAE is cracking down hard on Iranian shell companies and money-laundering channels used to skirt Western sanctions. Iranian expats are now reporting sudden visa cancellations, leaving many stranded abroad despite earlier promises of long-term stays.
 
The eye-popping $530 billion seizure figure circulating in some circles remains unverified and likely inflated, but the direction is unmistakable: Abu Dhabi is done playing host to Iran’s economic lifelines. This comes after Iran launched waves of missiles and drones that threatened Gulf stability, forcing even pragmatic Arab states to pick a side.
 
Iran’s mullahs bet on aggression and proxy wars. Now their cash pipelines are being severed and their overseas networks dismantled. When even business-friendly Gulf neighbors turn against you, isolation is complete.
 
Tehran wanted confrontation. It’s getting economic strangulation instead.
