Who Wins a War Today? What Russia Vs Ukraine, India Vs Pak Taught? Op Sindoor, Spiderweb in Action

Who really wins a war today? It’s no longer just about territory or body counts — modern warfare is about strategy, resilience, tech power, global support, and narrative control. In this explosive breakdown, we dive deep into two of 2025’s biggest conflicts: Russia vs Ukraine – Where Russia may hold land, but Ukraine strikes deep with Operation Spiderweb, destroying bombers in Siberia and rewriting the rules of modern resistance. India vs Pakistan – After the Pahalgam attack, India unleashed Operation Sindoor, targeting key Pakistani airbases with unmatched precision. The result? A short but decisive show of strategic might. From territory loss to defence destruction, global diplomacy to psychological edge — we unpack who lost what, and more importantly, who's actually winning in this new age of warfare. #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaVsPakistan #IndiaStrikesPakistan #OperationSpiderweb #UkraineDroneAttack #IndianArmy #UkraineRussiaConflict #IndiaAttackPakistan #SpiderWebOperation #UkraineWar #UkraineSBU #RussiaUkraineLatest #IndiaPakistanConflict #AirStrike #UkraineVsRussia #UkraineSpiderweb #IndiaPakistanNews #RussiaVsUkraine2025 #UkraineDroneStrike Also Read Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Modi, Says Prime Minister Surrendered After Donald Trump's 'Ceasefire' Call :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-targets-pm-modi-says-prime-minister-surrendered-after-donald-trumps-ceasefire-call-4171423.html?ref=DMDesc How Many Pakistani Jets Did India Destroy?

Oreshnik Missile’s Debut: Russia Unleashes Deadly Hypersonic Oreshnik Missile On Ukraine's Dnipro [Video]

Oreshnik Missile’s Debut: Russia Unleashes Deadly Hypersonic Oreshnik Missile On Ukraine's Dnipro

Russia has used its hypersonic Oreshnik missile for the first time in an attack on Dnipro, Ukraine, striking at unmatched speeds of Mach 10–11. Surveillance footage showed six massive fireballs, and intelligence confirms the missile carried multiple warheads. President Putin touted its capabilities on state TV, warning NATO that the missile can bypass all current defenses and deliver devastation comparable to a nuclear strike—even with conventional payloads. The Pentagon has labeled it experimental, but its battlefield debut is sending shockwaves through Europe and the global defense community. #OreshnikMissile #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #HypersonicWeapons #DniproStrike #Mach10 #MissileDefense #NATO #UkraineWar #WarInEurope #BallisticMissile #MilitaryTechnology #Pentagon #PutinSpeech #NuclearThreat #RussiaStrikes #UkrainianIntel #ClusterWarhead #GlobalSecurity #WarfareTech #Mach11 #MilitaryNews #BreakingNews #DefenseSystems #KapustinYar #CaspianSea #ICBM #Submunitions #HazelnutMissile #StrategicThreat Also Read Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Putin RETALIATES After Ukrainian Drone Strike | MiG-31K Jets Take Off With Deadly Kinzhal Missiles

Ukraine has declared a nationwide air alert after Russian MiG-31K jets—capable of carrying Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles—took off, sparking immediate concern of long-range strikes. The Ukrainian Air Force urged civilians to seek shelter. This comes in retaliation for Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian bomber bases, which destroyed over 40 aircraft. Overnight, Russia launched waves of drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, causing casualties. Failed peace talks in Istanbul and Putin's silence since the air base losses signal deepening conflict and an unpredictable escalation ahead. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #MiG31K #KinzhalMissile #AirAlert #Putin #UkrainianAirForce #DroneStrikes #WarInEurope #Donetsk #Kharkiv #Chernihiv #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaStrikes #UkraineUnderAttack #Zelenskyy #PutinRevenge #Geopolitics #MissileThreat #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #PutinSilence #PeaceTalksFail #MissileAlert #UkrainianDefense #AirRaid #RussiaRetaliation #PutinStrikesBack #MiG31Threat #UkraineCrisis #WarUpdate ~ED.103~HT.318~

Zelensky Blasts Putin’s ‘Idiot’ Proposal to Swap Dead Soldiers; Calls Russia’s Ceasefire Plan a Sham

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launched a scathing attack on Russia's proposal for a short-term ceasefire aimed at recovering bodies from the battlefield, calling it a sham and labeling the Russian delegation “idiots.” The remarks came after the second round of peace talks in Türkiye, where Russia's lead negotiator Vladimir Medinsky suggested a 2–3 day truce for humanitarian reasons. Zelensky dismissed the idea, arguing that Russia continues to bombard Ukraine with hundreds of drones and missiles nightly. #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineRussiaConflict #RussiaUkrainePeaceTalks #ZelenskyVsPutin #CeasefireTalks #UkraineWarNews #RussiaUkraineUpdate #PeaceTalksIstanbul #UkraineUnderAttack #PutinWarPlans #RussiaStrikesUkraine #UkraineDefends #TurkiyePeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #NoCeasefireDeal Also Read How Ukraine's 'Operation Spider's Web' Struck Deep Into Russia, Targeted Strategic Airbases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-ukraines-operation-spiders-web-struck-deep-into-russia-targeted-strategic-airbases-4170093.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Claims Massive Drone Strike Destroyed 40 Warplanes Deep Inside Russia, Strategic Bombers Damaged :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-claims-massive-drone-strike-destroyed-40-warplanes-deep-inside-russia-strategic-bombers-dam-4169967.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outrightly rejected Russia’s 2–3 day ceasefire proposal, calling it a "tactic" and branding Russian officials as "idiots." The offer, presented during peace talks in Istanbul, aimed to recover bodies from grey zones for “Christian burial.” Russia also handed over a draft peace memorandum, which Zelensky dismissed as an “ultimatum.” With Russia reportedly prepping nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles, Zelensky urged the U.S. for more sanctions.

Russia In Blackout: Ukraine BOMBS Power Grid Minutes After Peace Talks | Putin’s Warning IGNORED

The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a boiling point. Ukrainian drone strikes late Monday knocked out power across multiple Russian regions, with Zaporozhye and Kherson plunging into darkness. Over 104,000 people were left without electricity, and hospitals are relying on backup generators. The strikes came just hours after failed peace talks in Istanbul, with Kyiv rejecting Moscow's demands. As both sides escalate militarily, Ukraine appears undeterred by the threat of a greater Russian offensive. The conflict is entering a critical, unpredictable phase. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #DroneStrikes #Blackouts #Zaporozhye #Kherson #Putin #Zelensky #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #Kyiv #Moscow #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #WarNews #BreakingNews #Defense #UkraineConflict #MilitaryNews #PowerOutage #GlobalTensions #NATO #RussiaStrikes #UkrainianArmy #Kremlin #NewsUpdate #WorldNews #WarEscalation #UkraineStrike #EnergyWar #RussiaUkraineCrisis Also Read How Ukraine's 'Operation Spider's Web' Struck Deep Into Russia, Targeted Strategic Airbases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-ukraines-operation-spiders-web-struck-deep-into-russia-targeted-strategic-airbases-4170093.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Claims Massive Drone Strike Destroyed 40 Warplanes Deep Inside Russia, Strategic Bombers Damaged :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-claims-massive-drone-strike-destroyed-40-warplanes-deep-inside-russia-strategic-bombers-dam-4169967.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~

Russia, Ukraine Agree To Swap 6,000 Soldiers’ Bodies As Outcome Of Istanbul Talks | SHOCKING

In a rare gesture of mutual concession, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to swap 6,000 fallen soldiers—three years into a brutal war that has killed tens of thousands. The body exchange agreement was struck during fragile peace talks in Istanbul that lasted barely an hour, following Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes deep inside Russian territory. Though hailed by Kyiv as a “brilliant operation,” the strikes failed to generate real diplomatic momentum. With air raids escalating and troops drained, both sides remain locked in a grinding deadlock that diplomacy alone seems unable to resolve. #RussiaUkraineWar #BodyExchange #PeaceTalks #Istanbul #UkraineDrones #Putin #Zelenskyy #WW3 #DroneAttack #MilitaryCasualties #StrategicBombers #Ceasefire #WarNews #UkraineRussiaConflict #POWExchange #WarDead #EasternFront #Airstrikes #RussiaUkraineUpdate #Geopolitics
