F-16s for Pakistan, F-35s for India: Trump’s maverick powerplay in South Asia
Wednesday, 26 February 2025 In a controversial move, the Trump administration has approved a $397 million package for Pakistan's F-16 fighter jet fleet, while offering India the advanced F-35 Lightning II jet. This dual approach aims to recalibrate South Asia's power dynamics, but raises concerns about Pakistan's potential misuse of the F-16s.

Just days before the Pahalgam terror attack, a controversial U.S.-Pakistan crypto deal was signed in Islamabad involving Trump’s sons and Jared Kushner. With a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family aims to position Pakistan as South Asia’s crypto hub. The deal has drawn criticism in New Delhi over alleged political motives, especially with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir’s backing. Despite growing scrutiny, Trump’s family and the White House remain silent, while Pakistan’s Crypto Council claims the agreement is purely economic and focused on blockchain integration and digital inclusion.

Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman explains why the U.S. intervened during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Initially maintaining a watchful stance, Vice President Vance and President Trump eventually pushed for a ceasefire due to two major concerns: rapid military escalation and fears around nuclear security. Kugelman noted that the U.S. was alarmed by India’s targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi. These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure.

Tensions between California and Washington D.C. reignite as Governor Gavin Newsom challenges former ICE Chief Tom Homan to arrest him on live TV. Trump escalates the feud, calling Newsom “grossly incompetent” and suggesting he should be arrested. The confrontation follows federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and strong opposition from California leaders, including L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. As Trump mocks their resistance and accuses them of ignoring violence, the battle over state vs federal control of immigration reaches a boiling point.

Ukraine has confirmed the loss of another U.S.-made F-16 fighter jet during a combat mission repelling a Russian airstrike. This marks the third F-16 crash since the West began supplying the jets. Communication was lost mid-mission as the pilot destroyed three targets before an emergency forced him to eject. He avoided civilian casualties and is recovering. The incident raises concerns over Ukraine’s ability to match Russia’s superior airpower with limited, delayed F-16 deliveries. An investigation is underway as Ukraine struggles to deploy the jets effectively.

26-year-old pilot Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed in the mission, making this the second confirmed F-16 loss in the Ukraine war. However, a major question remains: Who shot it down — Russia or Ukraine itself?
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded a full military report into the incident, as speculation grows over whether this was enemy fire or another deadly case of friendly fire. Russian military blogs claim the jet was downed by a surface-to-air missile (SAM), but Kyiv has not confirmed the cause.
With rising tensions, high-risk air missions, and increasing losses, the F-16 saga raises urgent questions about Ukraine's air defense coordination and battlefield clarity.
