USS Rafael Peralta (DDG-115), an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy passed Singapore towards the Middle East around 9:30am on 31st March
BREAKING: According to this satellite image taken by Landsat 8/9, it appears that, in addition to the KC-135R Stratotankers of the U.S. Air Force, at least one or two E-3G Sentry AWACS has also been destroyed in the ballistic missile strike carried out by the IRGC Aerospace Force at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, on March 27, 2026.
In fact, it appears that, the primary target of the IRGCASF was the E-3Gs of the USAF parked there, not the KC-135Rs. However, they also managed to destroy several KC-135Rs.
What makes this even more personal for me is that I had previously met and photographed those E-3G Sentry AWACS aircraft weeks before start of this war for my book on Op. Epic Fury.

Latest naval movement from Asia Pacific seen passing Singapore coincides with Friday reports from WSJ that the amphibious assault ship to Middle East had left San Diego last Wednesday. ETA: Mid April.
This may seen 1) as escalation and 2) window for Iran to take the off ramp.

Everyone in Singapore and Batam getting a chance to see RCELEBRA (9286073) with their 👀&📷 , as it is transiting the Singapore Strait right now.
It is 🇪🇺 sanctioned and most likely laden with 🇮🇷🛢️ received from US OFAC sanctioned False-flagged, stateless tanker NORA (9237529).
Media reported that the cargo was "seized". But what will we see when Singapore's Ship Spotters share 📷?
Will the ship be visiblely laden?
Both ships were blacklisted @UANI and on the #GhostArmada list.
Where is it going next with the 🇮🇷🛢️ cargo? Directly to the "Teapot Refineries" in 🇨🇳?
Or will it stop in the Eastern Out of Port Limits (EOPL) anchorage off Eastern Johor, 🇲🇾, where many dozens of other Dark Fleet and Stateless tankers conduct Ship-to-Ship (StS) ops with impunity.
