Putin threatens to destroy US F16 fighter jets if they’re sent to Ukraine – BBC News

Published

on



President Putin has threatened to target US-made F16 fighter jets if they are supplied to Ukraine.

The Russian President accused the West of seeking Russia’s strategic defeat in the war in Ukraine.

The US President Joe Biden has given permission for Ukrainian pilots to be trained to fly F16s fighter jets. It’s thought that European nations could supply the jets to Ukraine but no decision has yet been taken.

Speaking at Russia’s annual economic forum in St Petersburg, Mr Putin said his country remained strong, despite international sanctions imposed by the West following the Ukraine invasion.

    The KREMLIN is in no position to decide where the F-16 jets will be sent on NATO soil! The KREMLIN already caused enough regional and global problems and it should bear the sole responsibility in the CRISIS IN UKRAINE that the incompetent GOV of RUSSIA has done!

    Nation States aka Revived Roman Empire aka Nato and their Apostate Churches aka Roman Catholicism, Church of England, Portion of Protestant churches but not all like portion of United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church are Babylon in the Book of Revelation. Apostate in the Greek equals 666 the number of the beast 4 horseman are running in Ukraine war and middle east war. If you want to know God's plan for Babylon go read the Book of Revelation. Given we are on the verge of WWW3 you should read the Book of Revelation quite quickly The war of Armeggedon is drawing closer.

    What is special about F-16 ? Su-27 and Mig-29 are going down I don't see the reason F-16 is going to be different. This is a war each sides target fighter jet of the other.
    If you don't want to it be shot down to spoil your market then don't send it.Full stop.

    It is not a threat it is a certainty. The Russian Air defense has wiped out a very large air force that Ukraine started with. I know the UK and US think they have wonder weapons but they are proving to be inferior to Russian planes and missiles. Burning challenger tanks prove that point. I am looking forward as an American seeing Abrams Tanks burning on the steps of Ukraine.

    Why nobody talks about the baraktar Turkish drones? Already known for Ukrainians, and more of them would be effective as air to air defence. And specially REAPER DRONES would be a good tool as well, cheaper than f16s, more simple logistics, good defence against helicopters and great for deep positions strikes in the invaders areas.
    Can anybody ask to the Pentagon's speakers/directors why this option is never considered nor mentioned?? 🙄
    And why the Turkish baraktar drones are not supplied anymore??

    Putin is a joke , his own country knows that better than anyone, he surely overestimated his militaries ability to conquer Ukraine (in two weeks) and now he finds himself facing some of the most committed freedom loving warriors on earth and the men and women of Ukraine do not waver, there bravery continues to shine…. GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!!

    Putin is wrong! Democratic unity will not fail. Putin, You best hope for a democratic election win in 2024 because when the republicans take power in 2024 you will be overthrown. Your people do not support you and neither does the US west. If the threats you project continue to ensue with the Ukraine you will witness the the strength of people old and new in a battle witnessed by few in Russia but uphold by the strength of every USA veteran ever enlisted or drafted! From the good OL USA to all allied forces!! Sincerely the armed forces of the united states!

Australian MP Helen Haines has been taken to hospital with “critical injuries” after she was hit by a car near her regional office in Wangaratta, Victoria, police have said.

“This wasn’t an accident – there was a deliberate act, it would appear,” said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Police have said they’re investigating whether it was “intentional” and a 43-year-old man, from nearby Tarrawingee, was arrested at the scene by a passer-by.

Wildfires: 1.8 million UK homes at risk, experts warn – Behind The Investigation | BBC News

Published

on



Lives “will be lost” unless the UK does more to prepare for wildfires, experts warn, after a record-breaking summer saw 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales alone.

“Tinderbox” conditions created by a long, hot, dry summer brought the worst wildfire season on record in 2026.

Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, huge areas of land burned, and one man died.

The UK government banned disposable barbecues, sent a wildfire alert to people’s mobile phones and made £97m available, and a wildfire summit is planned – but are we still behind the curve?

In this episode of Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith speaks to Adrian Goldberg from File on 4 Investigates about what he found on the ground.
