In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region. #Putin #KamikazeDrones #LeopardTank #UkraineMilitary #RussianForces #Kharkiv #MilitaryStrike #UkraineLosses #RussianVictory #CounterAttackFail #APCsDestroyed #HowitzersHit #UkrainianDefense #RussianMilitary #TacticalStrike Also Read 9/11 Like Attack Takes Place In Russia; All Flights At Kazan Airport Suspended :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/9-11-like-attack-takes-place-in-russia-all-flights-at-kazan-airport-suspended-011-4022565.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Launches Free Cancer Vaccine: Free Distribution To Begin In 2025 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-launches-free-cancer-vaccine-free-distribution-to-begin-in-2025-4019757.html?ref=DMDesc Uzbekistan National Arrested For Assassination Of Russian Chemical Weapons Chief Igor Kirillov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uzbekistan-national-arrested-for-assassination-of-russian-chemical-weapons-chief-igor-kirillov-4019123.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.336~GR.344~

Russian Troops Strip Ukraine Of Skilled Defenders; Ukraine Sends Untrained Troops To Deadly Fronts [Video]

Russian Troops Strip Ukraine Of Skilled Defenders; Ukraine Sends Untrained Troops To Deadly Fronts

Amid escalating tensions on the frontlines, Russia’s ongoing military campaign has left Ukraine’s defense forces vulnerable, forcing them to make desperate decisions in the face of mounting casualties. In a critical move, Ukraine has been compelled to redeploy its skilled air defense specialists to infantry positions due to severe manpower shortages. This reallocation of personnel has left key defense systems weakened, with some air defense units operating at less than half their full capacity. Meanwhile, Ukraine is sending untrained soldiers to fight on deadly frontlines, raising concerns about their ability to effectively counter Russian advances. As casualties rise and desertion rates climb, Ukraine’s military is under intense pressure to hold the line, but its ability to maintain security and defensive strength is rapidly being tested. #UkraineCrisis #RussianTroops #SkilledDefenders #UntrainedTroops #UkraineMilitary #FrontlineStruggles #DefenseCrisis #MilitaryShortage #UkraineWar #RussianAdvances #AirDefense #SoldierStruggles #ManpowerCrisis #UkraineDefense #WarTensions Also Read 9/11 Like Attack Takes Place In Russia; All Flights At Kazan Airport Suspended :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/9-11-like-attack-takes-place-in-russia-all-flights-at-kazan-airport-suspended-011-4022565.html?ref=DMDesc NATO Chief Visits Bulgaria to Inspect Joint Military Unit and Urges Enhanced Support for Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nato-chief-inspects-joint-military-unit-bulgaria-support-ukraine-011-4021049.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Urges Immediate Cease-Fire in Ukraine and Considers US Withdrawal from NATO :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-for-cease-fire-in-ukraine-nato-withdrawal-possible-011-4010085.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~

World War III Underway? Putin Drops Big Bombshell Warning, Sends Chilling Message to U.S, NATO

In a bold and alarming statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised global concerns about escalating tensions, warning against the potential onset of World War III. In a recent interview, Putin addressed the growing involvement of the U.S. and NATO in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which he described as intensifying the risks of global war. Dismissing claims that the war has already escalated into World War III, Putin stressed the importance of not frightening the public but acknowledged the increasing dangers. He blamed the West for fueling the crisis and warned that Russia would always respond to any challenges. At the same time, Putin signaled a potential openness to rebuilding ties with the U.S. and NATO, but only on terms that do not compromise Russia’s security and interests. This chilling message serves as a stark reminder of the fragile balance in international relations as the world watches the ongoing geo-political standoff. #WorldWarIII #PutinWarning #GlobalTensions #RussiaUkraineConflict #USNATO #PutinMessage #GeopoliticalCrisis #MilitaryEscalation #NATOChallenges #RussiaResponse #UkraineWar #WorldPeace #InternationalRelations #PutinSpeech #SecurityRisks Also Read NATO Chief Mark Rutte Warns of Putin's Intent for Long-Term Confrontation with Europe :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nato-chief-warns-putin-long-term-confrontation-europe-011-4014089.html?ref=DMDesc Keir Starmer Declares No Intent to Speak with Putin, Emphasises Commitment to Ukraine at G20 Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/keir-starmer-no-plans-to-talk-with-putin-supports-ukraine-011-3990289.html?ref=DMDesc Germany's Scholz Engages in First Call with Putin on Ukraine Negotiations in Nearly Two Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-scholz-discusses-ukraine-with-putin-call-011-3988751.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.334~

BIG BREAKING: Syria Has Fallen, Assad Flees | Handover Of Power To Rebels Any Moment

In a dramatic turn of events, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali declared on Sunday that the government is prepared to "extend its hand" to the opposition and facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to a transitional government. This announcement comes as rebel forces claim to have fully entered Damascus and seized key locations, including the notorious Saydnaya Military Prison. With intense clashes reported in the capital, the opposition has declared the city "free" from Bashar al-Assad, amid widespread speculation that the Syrian president has fled the country, possibly seeking refuge in the UAE. Jalali, however, remains in the capital, continuing his duties while urging citizens to avoid vandalizing public property. The developments suggest a significant shift in Syria’s 13-year civil war, with the future of Assad’s regime hanging in the balance. #Syria #DamascusFalls #AssadFlees #SyriaRebels #SyrianPM #PowerTransfer #SyriaTransition #SyrianCivilWar #FreeDamascus #SaydnayaPrison #AssadRegimeEnd #SyriaRevolution #SyrianOpposition #AssadOut #NewSyria Also Read Syrian President Assad Flees Damascus As Rebel Forces Seize Capital, Marks Collapse Of Regime Stronghold :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrian-president-assad-flees-damascus-as-rebel-forces-seize-capital-marks-collapse-of-regime-strong-4009445.html Opposition Fighters Approach Damascus: Understanding the Current Crisis in Syria's Civil War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/opposition-fighters-close-in-on-damascus-capital-011-4009409.html Syrian Rebels Push For Homs, Edge Closer To Damascus As Assad's Grip Weakens :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrian-rebels-push-for-homs-edge-closer-to-damascus-as-assads-grip-weakens-011-4009345.html
