Russia has confirmed the on-track delivery of two remaining S-400 air defence system units to India by 2025–26. The announcement follows reports of S-400 deployment during recent India-Pakistan clashes, highlighting growing bilateral cooperation in air defence and anti-drone technology.

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has lauded a "brilliant operation" that reportedly damaged or destroyed a staggering 40 Russian military aircraft in a series of drone strikes deep within Russian territory.

As per authentic reports, on one hand, Russia launched an air assault; on the other, it is steadily making advances on the Northeastern Border to Ukraine. While regularly providing lip service for peace talks, it had successfully captured four villages in ‘Sumy Oblast’ of Ukraine.
