NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia
NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe.
Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat.
Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition.
Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves.
Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger?

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

As Trump pledges 10 Patriot missiles to Kyiv, the EU is preparing a massive €100 billion support plan for Ukraine, potentially the largest in the war. Framed as the final phase against Putin’s forces, the package—slated to begin in 2028—would blend grants and soft loans tied to reforms. Proposed under the EU’s next seven-year budget, it signals long-term Western backing. Moscow decries the move as NATO-driven escalation, warning it exposes the EU’s dependency on U.S. strategy.

Russia has launched over 100 drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight assault across Ukraine — striking major cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and more. At least 12 people were killed, including civilians in Sumy, Odesa, and Kherson, and 69 others injured, with three children among the wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that over 1,200 drones have been fired at Ukraine in the past 7 days, calling on international partners to urgently deliver air defense systems. Russian drones also targeted recruitment centers in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 75 drones using advanced electronic warfare.
This marks the deadliest barrage since Friday’s mega strike of over 530 drones. Is the war entering a more brutal phase? Will Ukraine’s allies respond fast enough?

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal.
The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks.
However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve.

Will India push for BRICS sanctions against Pakistan for aiding and abetting terrorism? Does New Delhi enjoy enough support in the 10-member bloc to punish.. DNA
India-Pak War BIG REVEAL: In May 2025, as India-Pakistan clashed, one country watched from the sidelines— and probably profited too : China.
Beijing armed Pakistan with J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and HQ-9 defense systems — while feeding Islamabad the real-time intelligence. The result? A live battlefield to test Chinese weapons against India — without risking a single Chinese soldier.
This is China’s "Borrowed Knife" doctrine in action — k!ll your enemy using someone else’s hands.

Pakistan has denied claims that it would launch a nuclear strike on Israel if Iran were attacked. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear capability is strictly for national defense—not for hegemonic agendas. This comes after Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed Islamabad had promised nuclear retaliation on Iran’s behalf. While Pakistan maintains strategic ties with Iran and urges Muslim unity against Israel, it has clearly distanced itself from any nuclear involvement, warning the West of Israel’s unchecked nuclear might.

He invoked Lord Hanuman while stating that India never initiates conflict, but always retaliates with strength. Citing the killing of over 124 terrorists in a decisive Indian military response, Yogi said Pakistan is paying for nurturing terrorism. “Pakistan’s days are numbered,” he declared, holding Islamabad responsible for cross-border terror and vowing continued retaliation.
