Pakistani F-16 pilot captured by Indian Army in Jammu's Akhnoor
Thursday, 8 May 2025 () Early on May 7 morning, India executed a coordinated assault using long-range high-precision strike weapons, destroying nine sites in PoK and deep inside Pakistan in an operation codenamed 'Sindoor'.
In a powerful counter-strike, India has reportedly targeted key sites in Pakistani cities, including Lahore and Islamabad, following escalating hostilities. Explosions were reported near the residence of former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, sparking panic in civilian zones. Sources suggest precision...
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.

Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Kiev’s Western allies, including the EU and UK, of backing recent massive drone strikes on Russian civilians to derail the renewed peace talks with Ukraine. Lavrov said nations like France, Germany, and Britain are enabling Ukrainian “Nazis” and bear responsibility for the attacks. Over 880 drones and missiles have been launched into Russian territory since Tuesday, according to Moscow. Lavrov also warned that Western calls for a ceasefire mask plans to further militarize Europe and prolong the war for their geopolitical interests.

The attacks came in waves but were completely neutralised by India’s vigilant air defence systems, including Pechora and SAMAR units. No damage occurred to any installations or personnel.
