This seems bad

My understanding is that AWACS run at about a billion dollars apiece (those are friend prices), and that we have 16 oops now 15 of them:
How did that happen?
Russia took satellite images of a U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia three times in the days before Iran attacked the site and wounded American troops, according to a summary of Ukrainian intelligence shared with NBC News by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
In an interview in the Gulf nation of Qatar on Saturday, Zelenskyy said he was “100%” confident Russia was sharing such intelligence with Iran to help target U.S. forces across the Middle East.
“I think that it’s in Russia’s interest to help Iranians. And I don’t believe — I know — that they share information,” he said. “Do they help Iranians? Of course. How many percent? One-hundred percent.”
During the interview, Zelenskyy shared a summary of the daily presidential briefing he receives from Ukraine’s spy agencies. The report stated that Russian satellites had taken images of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on March 20, March 23 and March 25.
On March 26, Iran attacked the base, which hosts U.S. forces as well as Saudi troops.
Oh.
Per various friends of ours, it looks more and more like there’s going to be some sort of invasion by US troops, although if I know Donnie from Queens and his tatted-up hyper-masculine WARFIGHTER Sec Def it’s going to be some basically half-assed performative nonsense, putatively to find and seize the enriched uranium that is somewhere in the tiny nation of Iran, along with maybe if we’re really unlucky some even more half-assed idea that occupying an island or two is going to open the Strait of Hormuz to big beautiful supertankers, so gas goes down to ninety-five cents a gallon, you won’t believe how cheap it will be.
34 more months of this, probably.
