Yes, five jets seems extremely unlikely, but it is interesting to see if they had shot down one or two jets, and if they indeed managed to shot down a Rafale.
According to the CNN live reports on the situation, Pakistani sources claim they have downed five Indian jets, of which three are Rafales:
”In a statement released to reporters, the security sources said three French-made Rafale jets, one MiG-29 and one SU-30 fighter jets were downed “in...
Trump has repeatedly said this, in order to justify his surrender deal. He tries to present his surrender as a victory, in the sense that Russia is giving up the rest of Ukraine, which they would otherwise conquer. So, when Trump wants to broker a peace deal where Russia keeps all the land it...
Apparently, Netanyahu’s plane was barred from flying over Turkey, and this is why he cancelled his visit to Azerbaidjan:

I perfectly agree with you here. It is a disgrace that European countries are willing to spend less on defending Ukraine than what they spent on Covid. The threat posed by Russia is many magnitudes higher than Covid, and it is perfectly known how to spend the money to defeat Russia, while with...
While I agree with this as a pragmatic solution, I think purchases from the US should be avoided as much as possible, and the excessive cash should be used to ramp up capacity in Europe and Ukraine. Give European companies big contracts worth billions of dollars so that they have the certainty...
The problem with this situation is that it will be very hard to justify sending money to Ukraine for countries like Australia or New Zealand, when the US is not only not giving money, but actually making a profit by selling military hardware (and also getting the minerals).
Why should...
So here are the main changes regarding Ukraine since Trump came to office:
1) The US will sell weapons to Ukraine (paid by Europe, because Ukraine doesn’t have the money) instead of giving them for free.
Winner: US
Losers: Ukraine, Europe
2) The minerals deal where US gets rights to Ukrainian...
The USA and Russia are two sides of the same coin. Both of them are imperialistic bullies who think they are above everyone else. The US’s advantage is that it is much more economically devloped, and being their vassal is much more lucrative than being Russia’s. It’s better to be the UK than to...
While the deal is clearly not as bad as it was initially supposed to be, the optics of Ukraine being forced to sign the deal in order to appease Trump are awful.
Why was this deal required in the first place? It was reauired because Trump wanted to humiliate Ukraine so he can boast to his...
Too bad that Ukraine caved and signed the deal. It is a sign of European weakness. Trump should have not been appeased.
Europe should have guaranteed Ukraine that it will step up and replace US aid if necessary, but with the condition that Ukraine doesn’t sign any surrender deal with the US...
It’s not because of the nukes. Russia has many more nukes than Israel, and you shot down their jet.
It’s about the combined diplomatic and military power of Israel that makes it basically untauchable. Israel has the full baking of the USA like no other country does. Also, they have the...
This is another reason why it is imperative that everyone supports Ukraine with weapons in order to defeat Russia. Now that the US is on Putin’s side, the rest of the world needs to get its act together and push for more military aid.
Trump’s “peace” plan is desgined in the Kremlin and must be...
But there is also a silver lining for Putin when it comes to Russia’s economic collapse. When Russians will be dirt poor, they will be willing to enroll in the meat waves for a much lower price 😂

The good news is that Helsing is going to build more factories spread towards Europe, creating the base for future mass production of intelligent and high precision European drones...
There is no such option because so far the EU has tried to work on consensus, but it is obvious that such a system is very limited in what it can achieve, especially when you have a higher number of countries involved.
The rules need to be adapted to the current reality. The EU clearly needs an...
Hungary has acted against the interests of fellow EU members for too long, and it is working as a Trojan Horse inside the EU at the command of Putin. It’s about time they are put in their place and stripped of their voting power, until they come to their senses and stop being traitors.
They...
