For the record, these planes are used to direct air battles that have nothing to do with nuclear war.

Further, the Saudi Air Force has included these planes for a very long time. I recall seeing them taking off fron Dhahran in the early 90’s

The Israeli planes attacking Iran will be guided by the Saudi AWACs....believe it

Maybe, but “O” has proved himself to be THE most unprincipled President in US history and documented enemy of the US, so I guess anything could be possible.

You are confusing the E-3 with the E-4.

E-3 is the airborne warning and control system used to ‘control’ the air battle. http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/104504/e-3-sentry-awacs.aspx

E-4 is the SHTF flying nuclear command post. http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/104503/e-4b.aspx

And no, Saudi AWACS would not be controlling anything. Saudis are inept and hardly can fly the thing, let alone properly use that asset. Besides, it is hardly reasonable to expect Israeli’s would actually TRSUT the Saudis.
