Russia-Ukraine War: US to send Black Hornet nano drones to Ukraine for the first time|Oneindia News
The Pentagon has confirmed that it will be sending Black Hornet nano drones to Ukraine as part of a $400m security assistance package.
This confirmation comes against the backdrop of reports of Ukrainian counteroffensive being futile and tardy.
The U.S. Department of Defense had announced USD 400 million in additional security assistance for Ukraine on yesterday, including air defense missiles, armored vehicles and small drones, as Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia grinds on.The new aid package will include U.S. furnished Black Hornet surveillance drones for the first time.
The assistance is funded using the Presidential Drawdown Authority, or PDA, which authorizes the president to quickly transfer articles and services from U.S. stocks without congressional approval during an emergency.
The material will come from U.S. excess inventory.
This is the 43rd security assistance package approved by the United States for Ukraine.
More than USD 43 billion in U.S. military aid has been provided since Russia’s invasion in 2022.
In conversation with OneIndia’s Nagen Singh, Ambassador S.D. Muni - Special Envoy of India & Former, Member Executive Council, IDSA points out that the Ukraine-Russia war is a European War and India has a very marginal role to play in the negotiations. He points out that this war is like an overhang of the Cold War times and the end of this war depends on how U.S & Russia come to terms regarding it and how Europe responds.

The Pentagon has confirmed the long-anticipated test date for Trump's billion-dollar "Golden Dome" missile defense system—just weeks before the 2028 election. Announced in May, Trump’s campaign-era promise aims to create a space-based shield against missile threats. The timing raises eyebrows, with defense experts questioning if this is military strategy or political theater. Led by Gen. Michael Guetlein and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the program faces tight deadlines, scaling challenges, and skyrocketing costs. With $25B already allocated, the pressure to deliver—both technically and politically—is mounting.

The Pentagon is facing yet another high-profile departure as Justin Fulcher, a senior advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is set to step down after only six months on the job. Fulcher is now the sixth senior official to leave the department since Hegseth's controversial appointment, raising serious questions about the stability and leadership within one of the world's most powerful military institutions. The news, first reported by CBS News as a firing, was quickly disputed by the Pentagon, with spokesman Sean Parnell calling the claim "false" and unfair to Fulcher.
This wave of resignations comes amid a turbulent tenure for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. He has been at the center of multiple scandals, most notably a major security breach involving a Signal chat group discussing sensitive military operations, such as strikes in Yemen. In an unprecedented move, Hegseth reportedly added an editor from The Atlantic to this top-secret chat, a scandal that sent shockwaves through the defense community.
Justin Fulcher himself was no stranger to conflict within the Pentagon's walls. He reportedly stormed out of a heated meeting with the Pentagon's DOGE team in April and later claimed the Pentagon Force Protection Agency was actively searching for him. This incident allegedly infuriated Hegseth, who then personally confronted DOGE team lead Yinon Weiss for targeting his advisor. Despite the drama, Fulcher's departure statement was diplomatic, calling his time working with the Pentagon's personnel "incredibly inspiring." This video breaks down the full story behind the chaos at the Pentagon.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Defense Department’s cloud services were previously supported by China-based engineers, raising national security concerns. Microsoft admitted to using teams in China for technical assistance but assured that no China-based staff will be involved moving forward. ProPublica revealed that limited U.S. oversight left critical Pentagon systems vulnerable, with personnel lacking the expertise to manage them effectively. Amid growing tensions with Beijing, Microsoft has pledged stricter controls to secure DoD cloud services against potential foreign risks.

In a major shift, U.S. President Donald Trump has approved a fresh $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, reportedly including rare Patriot surface-to-air missiles and medium-range rockets. The decision follows a brief and controversial Pentagon pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a known skeptic of increased aid to Kiev.
Trump’s move marks the first use of his Presidential Drawdown Authority, allowing emergency arms transfers directly from U.S. stockpiles. While the Pentagon claimed the pause was a limited stockpile review, it had caused concern among European allies and Ukrainian officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that most weapons shipments were never stopped. Trump, who has reopened ceasefire talks with Russia, acknowledged the high cost of Patriot systems but said Ukraine still needs them. The Kremlin has warned the continued weapons flow contradicts peace efforts and further complicates diplomacy.

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment.
But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022.

In conversation with OneIndia’s Nagen Singh, Burzine Waghmar, SOAS South Asia Institute, London reveals how UK PM Keir Starmer trained Volodymyr Zelensky before his meeting with Donald Trump in order to avoid a repeat of the February meeting at the White House. Waghmar calls Trump a ‘Capricious, Petty Minded and Thick Skinned’ Politician and says that Starmer delivered a ‘masterclass’ in how to deal with Trump. He even added that Trump ‘has no ideology’ and that is why he hosted Pakistani Field Marshall Asim Munir at the White House.

In conversation with OneIndia’s Nagen Singh, Political Commentator Brad Bannon from the Washington, D.C. throws light on what went wrong between President Trump and PM Modi. He says that there are reports that Trump wanted India to nominate him for Nobel Peace Prize for mediation between India-Pakistan, which PM Modi flatly refused, saying that U.S. had no role in India-Pak ceasefire, which was brought about bilaterally between the 2 nations.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia News, Vlada Galan – Geopolitical Strategist; President & Chair, International Ukrainian Crisis Fund, says that Trump used India as a Pawn to pressure Putin into a Summit. Vlada however clears that the sanctions on India were nothing personal against India and only a pressure-tactic against Putin, which played a role to some extent to get the Alaska meeting in place.

During the live coverage of the historic Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska, a heated debate broke out between Burzine Waghmar SOAS, University of London, and journalist Nagen Singh of OneIndia News. Waghmar argued that Russia’s economy is overheated and claimed Putin cannot sustain the Ukraine war beyond a year. He also questioned India’s obsession with Moscow and the romanticization of Indo-Russian ties. Countering him, Singh accused the West of hypocrisy and blamed the UK and U.S. for India’s deep-rooted closeness with Russia.
