    This looks like another angle of the one we knew about - before going into this we had 16 of these, with one destroyed, we’re down to 15.

    Is this being asserted as being a second AWACS aircraft hit putting us down to 14 now?

    It looks to me like just the other side of the one we already knew about.

        AFAIK, 5 aircraft total got wrecked, but just the one was the AWACS.

        Others could have been any kind of aircraft.

          And the thing is most people do not understand how valuable that asset is to the military. They are just as important as the fuel takers. Information and logistics more important than most think.
