As a result of the missile strikes Iran launched on the "Prince Sultan" airbase in Saudi Arabia, 5 refueling aircraft belonging to the US Air Force were damaged.
According to information released by "The Wall Street Journal" (WSJ) citing US officials, the planes were hit while on the ground but were not completely destroyed and are currently being repaired.
With this incident, the number of US tanker aircraft put out of action due to Iranian attacks in recent days has reached at least 7. The newspaper also updated the statistics of losses reported by the US military since the start of the "Epic Fury" operation against Iran (February 28, 2026). According to the information, 13 American soldiers died during combat operations, and nearly 200 soldiers were injured, including 10 seriously. It is reported that about 170 of the wounded have already recovered and returned to service.
Despite Saudi Arabia intercepting several ballistic missiles from Iran's attack, it shows that some missiles penetrated the air defense systems and damaged the base's logistical infrastructure.//Musavat.com
