Ukraine LIVE: NATO war jets scramble as Putin's forces shoot kids and plane of tourists
Express UK ^ | 5/25/2025 | JON KING, WILL STEWART, JOHN VARGA

NATO scrambled its war planes today in self defence amid Vladimir Putin’s heaviest strikes on Ukraine in months, leading to multiple civilian deaths including three children. Russia was also hit hard with Ukrainian strikes, leading to the Kremlin’s air defences firing in panic - but missing - an Airbus A320-251N packed with its own tourists from Turkish resort Bodrum, according to reports.

At least 10 Russian government aircraft used for high-ranking state and military officials fled Moscow flying east. It was not immediately clear if the exodus was a drill for an emergency evacuation or the real thing amid an onslaught from Ukrainian drones, which led to the temporary closures of major Moscow airports.

Among the planes that left Moscow eastward in the direction of the Urals were four Tu-154s, one Il-62M, a pair of Tu-134s, a Tu-214, and transport aircraft Il-76MD and An-148. It coincided with the first time in many months that Russia deployed the entire spectrum of its nuclear-capable strategic bombers against Ukraine, firing conventional missiles from Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft - in addition to the use of kamikaze drones.

Amid savage attacks from Putin’s armed forces on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, Polish military high command announced it had “activated all available forces and resources” on NATO’s eastern flank.

Yes. You are correct Poland.

And they have a lingering dispute over a part of Ukraine (once occupied by Polish for many years) that was grafted to one of the border changes related to the Polish/Ukraine division).

Poland, in my opinion is one of the best and most loyal NATO members. They show continuing loyalty to the USA and we have common past with Poland since the American Revolution.

Unfortunately the EU is controlled by Germany. And they don’t play fair with other EU members. They (Germany) do not believe in fair elections or even freedom of speech. (NAZI traits) And Germany within NATO and the EU are playing the Ukraine card, and loosing. Arrogance before the fall.

I think I was maintaining the keywords foxpocalypsenow and foxratingscollapse.

Like I posted, I haven't had TeeVee since 2004. Saved over $1500 a year. $25 Internet.

It doesn’t have to be in Turkey or Ukraine for NATO to be ready to defend either one. Russia is on purpose trying to kill civilians instead of attacking the military and you are concerned about where the Airbus was? Don’t be concerned , everyone knows already you are a Russian Bot.

I don’t have a reason to trust this article as it is partisan, in favor of NATO official policy.

Funny thing.... Russia tried to launch an ICBN on Sunday but they could not get it out of the SILO!! And people keep thinking Russia would use Nukes? HAHA
They could try but they probably hit Moscow instead if any of them would fire!
