Damaged is an understatement, its aft section was completely destroyed and the plane is in two pieces. We only have like 20 E-3s, half of them can't even fly at

Damaged is an understatement, its aft section was completely destroyed and the plane is in two pieces. We only have like 20 E-3s, half of them can't even fly at any given time, and this one was sitting out on a runway like a sitting duck and we've had weeks to learn since those KC-130s got hit in a similar situation. It's frustrating that we're constantly being lied to about what's actually happening. $300,0000,000 phased array radar stations getting knocked out of commission by a $50,000 drone traveling at 140 MPH which a $20,000,000 SM-3 can't intercept. Weeks of 8,000 airstrikes leading to "complete annihilation" but now we need more weeks to finish the job with energy prices skyrocketing. Asymmetric warfare is a bitch.
