The Russia-Ukraine conflict has entered its third year, and the situation is becoming more and more severe, and the Ukrainian army is facing great challenges. Russia's victories in strategic locations have put Kyiv and its supporters under enormous pressure. At this time, NATO began to get more involved, increasing tensions. Recently, the Ukrainian army has frequently attacked Russia's top targets, such as early warning aircraft, fighter jets and anti-aircraft missiles, etc., causing a lot of losses to the Russian army, and this series of successes has triggered speculation about NATO assistance.
However, Singapore's Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen revealed surprising news in his speech to Parliament: American F-35** fighter jets have carried out a number of missions in Ukraine, including searching for and locating Russian anti-aircraft missile positions, and sharing intelligence with NATO member countries in real time. This news confirms from the side that the US military is actually secretly involved in the fighting in Ukraine.
Although Singapore officials claim that the intelligence gathered by the F-35 is shared with NATO members, it is clear that the Ukrainian army has also benefited from it. This explains the recent frequent and successful attacks of the Ukrainian army on the Russian army. In addition, the Ukrainian military recently claimed to have shot down Russia's Su-35, Su-34 and other advanced fighters, whether this is due to the Ukrainian side itself, or the results of the US F-35, remains to be verified.
Military analysts note that the F-35 has excellent battlefield awareness and can share intelligence with friendly forces in real time. On the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the F-35's stealth capabilities and electronic warfare systems make it a significant threat to the Russian army. The Russian Aerospace Forces put into play almost all the main models, and even a small number of Su-57s were involved in the fighting. So far, it is still unknown whether the F-35 and Su-57 will meet in real combat. But judging from the recent war situation, it is clear that Russia has suffered even greater losses.
Now that NATO and the Western camp have stepped up their support for Ukraine, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has the potential to escalate into a broader bloc confrontation. The development of this situation is worrying, and it is hoped that all parties can treat it rationally and seek a peaceful solution as soon as possible to avoid further human life and destruction.
