The United States suffered a significant loss after Iran launched a missile attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia earlier this week.
An E-3 Sentry aircraft worth approximately $300 million was destroyed in the incident.
At least 10 service members were injured in the Iranian attack, which took place on March 27.
The E-3 Sentry is an American airborne early warning and control aircraft developed by Boeing, with a rotating radar disc mounted above its fuselage to spot distant threats.
Experts say the loss of this E-3 is 'incredibly problematic' due to its crucial role in airspace deconfliction, aircraft deconfliction, targeting, and providing lethal effects.
