New image reportedly showing the USAF E-3 Sentry destroyed in an Iranian attack at Prince Sultan Airbase on Friday. Matches 81-0005, an E-3C seen deployed to the base in recent weeks.

Speaker Johnson needs to bring the House back IMMEDIATELY to vote on a War Powers Resolution. Anything less is a cowardly dereliction of duty. Failure to act means:

SCOOP: The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate.

BREAKING: Iran did not randomly hit Prince Sultan Air Base. New analysis suggests the attack geometry targeted the E-3 AWACS parking area specifically, not the tankers beside it. Defence Security Asia reported within hours that post-strike Landsat imagery indicates “one or two E-3G Sentry aircraft may have been destroyed or rendered inoperable.” The publication concluded the strike pattern shows “the E-3G parking area appearing more central to the attack geometry” than the KC-135 tankers. If correct, this was not a punitive barrage. It was a precision operation to decapitate American airborne command and control. Air and Space Forces Magazine confirmed “a photo showed significant damage to a USAF E-3” and that “multiple refueling aircraft and an E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane are among the aircraft damaged.” Retired Air Force Colonel John Venable told the Wall Street Journal: “It’s a huge deal. It hurts the U.S.‘s ability to see what’s happening in the Gulf and maintain situational awareness.” Planet Labs satellite imagery from February 21 showed 43 aircraft on the PSAB tarmac, including 13 KC-135 tankers and six E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft per Times of Islamabad. Six of America’s 16 operational AWACS were concentrated at a single base in the open. No hardened shelters. No dispersal. Parked on the apron like commercial aircraft at a regional airport. Iran struck with six ballistic missiles and 29 drones per AP and WSJ. Most were intercepted by Saudi Patriot and THAAD systems. But the ones that got through hit the command layer, not the combat layer. The E-3 does not drop bombs. It tells every other aircraft where to drop them. It tracks Iranian drones, coordinates F-35 strike packages, manages tanker flows, and maintains command links across the entire theatre. Damage one E-3 and you do not lose a weapon. You lose the system that makes every weapon effective. CENTCOM has not commented on the damage. No official statement confirming or denying destruction. The Aviationist reported that Sentinel-2 short-wave infrared imagery showed “a heat signature at the same location” consistent with “flames and hot gases in the smoke towering from the area.” The Aviation Geek Club confirmed the E-3 and multiple KC-135s were damaged. No outlet has confirmed total destruction, but every outlet confirms the aircraft is out of action. And the replacement does not exist. The Boeing 707 airframe has not been manufactured since 1992. The E-7 Wedgetail successor has two prototypes funded but will not fly until 2028. Each E-3 costs $537 to $596 million in 2026 dollars. There are 16 left. Six were at this base. The war is 28 days old and America’s airborne command architecture is being degraded by an adversary whose missile capability CENTCOM says has been reduced by 90 percent. That is the number that should terrify every defence planner. Ninety percent of Iran’s missiles are gone. The remaining ten percent hit the brain. Over 300 service members have been wounded in Operation Epic Fury per Air and Space Forces Magazine. Thirteen killed. The carrier is in Croatia for a laundry fire. The tankers are damaged on the ground. The AWACS is out of action. And a three-star general is telling 35,000 reservists to pack their desert uniforms and prepare their families. Iran does not need to match American firepower. It needs to find the one aircraft America cannot replace and put a missile next to it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

BREAKING: Iran just damaged one of America’s 16 remaining E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Boeing 707 airframe that the E-3 is built on has not been manufactured since 1992. There is no production line. There are no new airframes. The replacement, the Boeing E-7 Wedgetail, will not arrive until 2028 at the earliest and has already slipped a year per Air and Space Forces Magazine. Each E-3 is worth $537 to $596 million in 2026 dollars. There are 16 left in the entire US Air Force inventory. Six were deployed to the Middle East for this war, nearly 40 percent of the global fleet per Army Recognition, leaving Alaska and the Indo-Pacific critically exposed. Iran hit one with a ballistic missile. On the ground. Parked on the flight line. Not in the air. Not in combat. On the apron at PSAB per satellite imagery confirmed by Defence Security Asia and Air and Space Forces Magazine. The strike also damaged several KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft, five in some reports per WSJ and Reuters. Ten to twelve US troops were wounded, two seriously, with no fatalities per AP and NYT. The KC-135s are described as repairable. The E-3 sustained what officials call “notable” to “significant” damage. Some assessments say “possibly inoperable.” Here is why this matters more than any single missile strike in the war. The E-3 AWACS is the flying brain of American air operations. Its rotating radar dome tracks threats from surface to stratosphere across 250 miles. It coordinates every fighter, tanker, bomber, and intelligence aircraft in the theatre. In this war, the AWACS tracks Iranian Shahed drones, coordinates F-35 strike packages, and manages the interceptor network already burning through 18 months of Patriot production every four days. Lose one AWACS and you lose a command node that cannot be replaced at any price on any timeline. The E-7 replacement was cancelled by the Pentagon, reinstated by Congress, and will not fly until 2028. Sixteen former four-star Air Force generals wrote publicly that the gap cannot be filled by space-based sensors. And now one of the 16 is sitting damaged on a Saudi flight line because Iran parked a ballistic missile next to it. The arithmetic of irreplaceability connects to every thread in this war. The US fired 943 Patriot interceptors in four days and cannot produce them fast enough. It raided Swiss F-35 funds to cover the gap. Every F-35 flying over Iran carries 418 kilograms of Chinese-processed rare earth materials that cannot be sourced elsewhere for five to ten years. Ukraine is offering $2,100 interceptors because the $3.9 million ones are running out. And now an aircraft that literally cannot be rebuilt has been damaged by a weapon that costs a fraction of its value. This is not a war of attrition. This is a war against irreplaceability itself. Iran does not need to match American technology. It needs to damage things America cannot replace. A Patriot that is fired is gone. A Swiss account that is raided is empty. An AWACS that is hit on the ground is a hole in the sky that nothing can fill until 2028. The war is eating the things that cannot be eaten twice. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Russia is a terror-state. Viktor Orbán demonizes Ukraine and partners with Putin. In recent days, Marco Rubio, Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini, and the rest have trooped to Hungary to campaign for Orbán. JD Vance will be there soon. Can you understand why this sickens some of us?

Ukraine's Zelensky reveals Russia scouted U.S. targets for Iran — after being accused of lying by Rubio. “I only showed the tip of the iceberg.” Most of it is still hidden — and it’s not pretty.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran. On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on? When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions. From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

🔥 Madyar puts Ukraine’s oil campaign in perspective. Yaroslavl alone: 2.5M bpd — ~100 full tank trains. Add Ust-Luga, Primorsk & Kirishi — losses are massive. Even Druzhba (300k bpd) now looks minor. Ukraine is hitting the arteries of Russia’s war economy. 4/10
