🚨 WHY IRAN’S STRIKE ON A U.S. E-3 SENTRY IS A BIG DEAL
1. The U.S. E-3 Sentry AWACS fleet is tiny. The U.S. now has only about 17 aircraft left after decades of retirements. Losing even one is a serious strategic loss.
2. Six E-3s were deployed to the Gulf theatre, nearly 40% of the entire fleet. One aircraft destroyed removes a large share of the airborne radar coverage available for the war.
3. The E-3 may be ageing but it is the airborne command centre of this air war. Its radar can detect aircraft, missiles and drones hundreds of kilometres away.
4. It tracks hundreds of targets simultaneously and directs fighter patrols, intercepts, tankers and air defence across the battlespace.
5. The strike strongly suggests external targeting support for Iran, widely believed to include Russian intelligence help. It also shows these prized aircraft were operating out of Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia (which has been hit once before!) because U.S. staging options in the Gulf are shrinking after Iran demonstrated reach against nearly every major American base.
6. Iran clearly targeting the sensor layer of the war. Earlier strikes damaged/destroyed THAAD radars and other radar systems that form the backbone of Gulf missile defence.
7. Destroying an AWACS is psychologically and reputationally damaging. These aircraft normally operate far behind the front line with fighter escorts and layered air defence.
8. The loss piles onto other equipment losses in the war, steadily eroding U.S. infrastructure and operational depth in the theatre.
9. The E-3 cannot be easily replaced. It uses the old Boeing 707 airframe and production ended decades ago, meaning there is no production line to replace losses.
10.The E-3’s intended successor, the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail, is mired in politics. The U.S. therefore has no immediate replacement capacity if more AWACS aircraft are lost.

The Ford has been on active duty for 9 straight months, it had a plumbing issue 2 months ago, now this laundry issue. It’s due to be rotated out, the crew is also exhausted. If it was actually stuck the ship would have visible damage on its exterior, it doesn’t. It’s docked in Croatia where it’s been photographed, in Crete before that.
The US has 11 CVN strike groups, 12 when the JFK launches in January. The Navy always keeps half in home waters (a year or two is common) and rotates the rest. The Ford is going home and the Bush is replacing it after being on one of the longest combat deployments in decades.
Finally Iran hasn’t even hit a plane yet, even with the latest in Chinese & Russian tech, they’re never going to hit a carrier.

Hmm. Must have been a lot of laundry???
When you lie about this, you lie about anything and everything…
Morgan J. Freeman@mjfree
The USS Gerald Ford, one of the largest U.S. aircraft carriers, will be out of service for two years after being struck by Iran. It’s definitely not a fire in the laundry room...

A Ukrainian rescue dog who helped find over 170 missing people and fallen soldiers has died 🐕
Hanna, a Doberman with the Antares search and rescue unit, passed away after battling a terminal illness for about a year. She worked across Ukraine locating civilians who went missing during attacks and recovering the bodies of fallen service members. Hanna participated in hundreds of missions with police, the State Emergency Service, and a program dedicated to returning soldiers home, once even finding a person alive seven days after they disappeared. Despite her illness, she continued assisting in high-risk areas affected by conflict and missile strikes.
