‘NO Support for F-16s’: Biden Nixes Zelensky’s Fix Request As F-16s Fall Flat Against Russia
The Biden administration has rejected a Pentagon proposal to send American contractors to Ukraine to maintain Western-supplied military hardware, including F-16 fighter jets, deeming it too risky.
The White House expects NATO allies in Europe to handle the maintenance, with the Netherlands planning to fund a private contract for this purpose.
This decision comes amid Ukraine's first F-16 loss and ongoing concerns over maintaining sophisticated Western weapons.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former NATO Secretary General, says linking security guarantees for Ukraine to a ceasefire risks extending the conflict. He says: “If we make security guarantees dependent on an end to the Russian attacks on Ukraine, the war will continue. We are giving Putin an incentive to continue the war to avoid western security guarantees to Ukraine.” Report by Covellm.

Speculation is mounting that Russian President Vladimir Putin may deploy the deadly Oreshnik missile system against Ukraine, further intensifying the conflict. In response, the European Union has pledged to supply Kyiv with long-range missiles, signaling a major escalation in the arms race and deepening the battlefield standoff.

A tragic accident struck Poland on Thursday when a Polish Air Force F-16 fighter jet crashed during rehearsals for the AirShow Radom 2025 in central Poland. The crash, captured in a viral video, shows the aircraft performing a barrel-roll before plummeting into the ground, erupting into a massive fireball. The pilot, an officer from the 31st Tactical Air Base near Poznan, was killed in the explosion. Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed the death, mourning the loss as a “great tragedy” for the Air Force. Authorities said the incident occurred around 1730 GMT (11 PM IST), with no civilian injuries reported. Following the disaster, organizers canceled the upcoming airshow. The cause of the crash remains under investigation as Poland grieves the loss of one of its military’s most experienced aviators, remembered for his courage and dedication to service.

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.

Putin has stunned the West with a surprise signal on Ukraine, suggesting that Moscow could offer security guarantees under certain conditions. Speaking after talks with Donald Trump and Slovak PM Robert Fico, Putin contrasted Trump’s “new approach” with Biden’s policies, stressing that Ukraine’s EU path may be possible but NATO membership remains a hard red line. The move has ignited speculation about a potential geopolitical shift in the Ukraine war.

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war.

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia.

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.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly floated the idea of deploying Chinese peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of a potential ceasefire deal with Russia, according to the Financial Times. Sources claim Trump suggested Chinese troops could patrol a neutral zone along the 1,300km frontline between Russian and Ukrainian forces. The proposal, allegedly made during a White House meeting with European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelensky, has triggered controversy and resistance from EU nations. Zelensky himself has rejected the idea in the past, citing Beijing’s failure to prevent earlier conflicts. While a senior Trump official dismissed the FT report as “false,” the very suggestion of Chinese boots on Ukrainian soil is sparking global debate. Beijing has so far denied any willingness to join such missions, insisting on neutrality. Moscow, however, has signaled it would only accept peace guarantees backed by UN Security Council powers, including China.
