Ukraine’s Top Pilot Oleksiy 'Moonfish' Mes Killed in F-16 Crash During Russian Missile Assault
Ukraine’s top pilot, Oleksiy 'Moonfish' Mes, was tragically killed when his US-made F-16 fighter jet crashed during a Russian missile assault.
Mes, a highly skilled and decorated pilot, had recently transitioned to flying the advanced F-16 after extensive training in the United States.
He was at the forefront of Ukraine's efforts to modernise its air force and was leading a critical mission to intercept incoming Russian missiles when the crash occurred.
His death marks a significant loss for Ukraine, both in terms of military capability and morale, as Mes was not only a symbol of Ukrainian resistance but also a key figure in the nation's defence strategy against Russian aggression.

In a bold press conference following his meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, President Trump announced a fresh wave of Patriot missile systems heading to Ukraine and issued a stern warning to Russia: negotiate peace or face new tariffs. He also made headlines by saying “Me and Melania talk about Putin,” calling the Russian leader “a tough guy.” With NATO coordination now taking center stage, is this a turning point in Trump’s Ukraine policy?

As ever, there is confusion and key questions are left unanswered, but Donald Trump's announcement on Ukraine and Russia today remains hugely significant. Sky News
Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer.
The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites.

In a stunning development, the U.S. has halted a critical weapons shipment to Ukraine that had already been staged in Poland, according to a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. The cache includes over two dozen PAC-3 Patriot missiles, more than two dozen Stinger air-defense systems, Hellfire missiles, and 90+ AIM air-to-air missiles designated for Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets. U.S. administration and congressional officials reportedly confirmed the freeze, which aligns with the ongoing strategic review under the “America First” doctrine. The move comes amid rising Ukrainian frustration, with officials accusing Washington of endangering their defense readiness. The freeze has triggered intense geopolitical anxiety, with Kyiv urging clarity while Moscow eyes an advantage.

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.
