FILE PHOTO: A damaged U.S. Boeing E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control aircraft following an Iranian strike on the airbase, amid the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia in this picture obtained from social media released on March 29, 2026. SOCIAL MEDIA/via REUTERS THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED BY A THIRD PARTY. NO RESALES. NO ARCHIVES. BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE. VERIFICATION: Reuters was able to confirm the location by the runway layout, buildings, utility towers and terrain seen in the photographs which matched satellite imagery of the area. The plane design and markings matched file imagery of E-3 AWACS aircraft. A U.S. official confirmed to Reuters that an E3 was damaged in a strike on the airbase on March 27. Same model aircraft is seen undamaged in the same position on the tarmac in satellite imagery from March 11. Satellite imagery from March 29 shows what appears to be a blackened section of the tarmac in the same position where the damaged plane is visible in the photographs. Exact date when the photographs were taken could not be verified but no older versions of the photographs were found posted online before March 29. TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY/File Photo
