NATO fighter jets were scrambled and air defense systems put on alert in Poland in response to Russia’s latest overnight drone and missile strikes in Ukraine

NATO fighter jets roared into the midnight sky over Poland last night as Russia unleashed hundreds of drones and missiles into Ukraine, this is more than just another headline in the endless drumbeat of war. The birth pangs are becoming impossible to ignore. What we are watching unfold in Eastern Europe is yet another reminder that the global stage is being prepared for the time of Jacob’s trouble, the rise of Antichrist, and the reshaping of world powers exactly as foretold in the King James Bible.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6-8 (KJB)

The prophet Daniel saw a final form of world government, a revived Roman system — strong in places, weak in others, but unified under one global ruler (Daniel 2:41–43). What is NATO if not the lingering iron of the old Roman Empire stretching across Europe? And soon a man will arise who will promise peace, stability, and safety — and the world will hand him everything. All of this points in one unmistakable direction: The Age of Grace is closing, and the time of Jacob’s trouble is approaching. The world cannot sustain this level of geopolitical tension without breaking. The Bible says it will break — spectacularly, after the Rapture when God turns His focus back to Israel and pours judgment on a Christ-rejecting world. If you’re saved, this should stir your soul and remind you that the ‘voice like a trumpet’ is close to sounding. If you’re lost, the window of mercy is still open — but not for long.

NATO fighters scrambled in Poland as Russia bombards Ukraine

FROM ABC NEWS: “Fighter jets have been scrambled and ground-based air defense systems as well as radar reconnaissance systems have reached a state of readiness,” the command said in a post to X. “These actions are of a preventive nature and are aimed at securing the airspace and its protection, especially in areas adjacent to the threatened regions,” it added. The alert lasted for just under four hours, after which the command said the fighters and air defense systems had “returned to standard operational activities.” No violations of Polish airspace were observed, a follow-up post to X said.

The Spanish and Czech air forces were involved in the response, the command said, as were German and Dutch air defense systems. Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched 653 drones and 51 missiles — 17 of them ballistic missiles — into the country overnight. The air force said 585 drones and 30 missiles were shot down or suppressed.

Drone and missile impacts were reported across 29 locations, the air force said.

The attack — which consisted of 704 air attack weapons — was Russia’s largest overnight bombardment since it launched 705 munitions on the night of Oct. 29, according to Ukrainian air force data analyzed by ABC News. The largest attack of the war to date took place on the night of Sept. 6 and involved 823 air attack vehicles. The latest overnight attack is only the fourth of Russia’s full-scale invasion to date in which the number of air attack vehicles used surpassed 700.

Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs Iho Klymenko said in a post to Telegram that 10 regions of the country came under attack, with direct hits to residential buildings, railways and energy infrastructure. More than two dozen houses in the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr and Lviv regions were damaged, according to Klymenko. At least three people were injured in the Kyiv region, another three people were injured in the Dnipropetrovsk region and two people were injured in the Lviv region, Klymenko said.

In the Black Sea port city of Odesa, regional Gov. Oleh Kiper said an energy facility was damaged, resulting in disruptions to the supply of power and heating. Some 9,500 customers were without heating and 34,000 without water as of 9:30 a.m. local time. There was also damage to energy infrastructure in the Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, according to authorities there.

The International Atomic Energy Agency — the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog — said in a post to X that Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant also temporarily lost all off-site power during the Russian strikes.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi “reiterates call for military restraint to avoid a nuclear accident,” the post said. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said she had “convened an emergency coordination meeting” with the ministers of internal affairs and energy as well as the leadership of the state-run energy companies and all services responsible for recovery operations.

Prepare for Russian kamikaze drones to swarm skies above Britain, gov warned as Iranian weapon is unveiled in Parliament

The other day a shocking expression was used to describe the current conflict in Ukraine and Europe, Phase Zero, and it send palpable electricity across the internet. What is Phase Zero in relationship to WWIII? When people talk about ‘Phase Zero’, they’re borrowing a term from U.S. and NATO military doctrine and applying it to the current global tensions. In simpler terms, we are rapidly approaching an inflection point from which there may be no return. Ready or not, it’s coming and that’s the memo.

“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:” Joel 3:9 (KJB)

The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on now for 1,300 days, and if you’ve been following it, it’s a strange little war. It’s almost the kind of war that you would wage if your real target was something bigger than Ukraine. And I believe that’s what we’re seeing. Putin is waging a war he never seems to actually be trying to win, but instead wants to keep the conflict humming along with the dial perpetually set to ‘medium’. Why would he do that? He might do that if he was using Ukraine as the bait for an all-out war with NATO. I’ve been saying that for nearly two years and today it rings truer than ever. What about that ‘peace in the Middle East’? Hamas has already violated the agreement, has begun executing Gazan civilians, and seem to be rearming for more war.

Putin could deploy 2 MILLION reservists to meatgrinder war with law change – as Trump mulls sending Tomahawks to Ukraine

FROM THE SUN US: It comes just weeks after Russian drones violated Polish airspace and after repeated sightings of unidentified drones in NATO’s skies. Relatively cheap, lethal, and widespread, the drone has become Russia’s weapon of choice against Ukraine. One Shahed-136 costs up to £38,000 – a huge contrast to the cost of a 9M728 Iskander K cruise missile at up to £1.5million.

Since the start of the year, Russia has fired more than 38,000 Shahed drones to wreak havoc in Ukraine – causing devastation on the battlefield and raining hell on civilian targets. With a maximum speed of 180km/h and a range of up to 2,500km, the drones explode when smashing into targets. But officials today warned drones like these could be headed for the UK’s airspace.

MP Tom Tugendhat, senior advisor to United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) and former Minister of State for Security, told The Sun: “That’s exactly what we were preparing for and I’m sure that the current government are continuing to prepare for.

“The reality is these weapon systems are not just targeting Ukraine, they’re not just targeting Poland. They’re being built to intimidate us.

Last month, NATO allies sprang into action after drones from Russia violated Poland’s airspace – an incident Mr Tugendhat believes was no accident. Meanwhile, Denmark, Norway, France and Germany are among the NATO countries where rogue drones have been spotted – sparking massive security concerns. Radek Sikorski, foreign minister and deputy prime minister of Poland, said it exposed a gap in Europe’s defences – and a further incident could have more disastrous consequences.

RUSSIA is preparing to deploy two million reserve soldiers to fight in the meatgrinder war in Ukraine

The Kremlin is planning to change a Russian law that would allow Vladimir Putin to send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die on the battlefield. It comes as Putin’s battlefield casualties have soared past the bloody one million milestone after 44 months of meatgrinder war. Ukraine’s fierce resistance forced Russia to pay a mighty toll for every inch of land it has taken, and its advances remain painfully slow. The staggering milestone includes troops who have been killed or wounded so severely that they cannot fight on. Despite the devastating losses which have already ripped a scar in Russian society, Putin is preparing to mobilise more men.

The rule change, which is expected to be backed by the Russian parliament, would allow the country’s reservists to be called up for duty even during peacetime. The amendment is being done because Moscow still calls its invasion of Ukraine a “special military operation” and not a war. This currently restricts the Russian military to using up the two million reservists it has, which Russian defence bosses say are “professional soldiers”. Alexei Zhuravlev, deputy chairman of Russia’s parliamentary defence committee, said the force of two million reservists were “professionals in their field” but were currently being unused. READ MORE

Putin Sets The Record For Trump On Syria? Al-Sharaa’s Stunning Video Hints At New Russian Alliance

A new video message from former Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa has stirred speculation about a deepening Moscow–Damascus axis and a potential signal from President Vladimir Putin to President Donald Trump. In his remarks, Putin stressed that Russia’s stance on Syria is shaped by “the interests of the Syrian people, not politics,” prompting analysts to view it as both a diplomatic assertion and a message to Washington amid shifting Middle East alignments.

NATO jets intercepted two Russian SU-30 warplanes carrying supersonic missiles over the Baltic Sea as Vladimir Putin continues to taunt the West with aggressive shows of Moscow’s military strength.

In the days leading up to the start of WWII, Hitler conducted deliberate provocations to see what sort of appetite his national neighbors had for military conflict. He started with small bites, and with each success, gradually increased the size of his operations until all-out war began in 1939. Vladimir Putin is now doing the exact same thing, launching provocations to see how fast nations react and with what level of intensity. Putin, at this point, is far ahead of any of his perceived rivals from a military stragedy standpoint, and he knows it. That’s the memo.

“The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.” Exodus 15:3 (KJB)

Just to let you know what you’re looking at, Putin has starting suiting up in military apparel when being photographed in public, telegraphing to anyone paying attention that war is coming. Hitler did the same thing, you couldn’t miss it if you tried, and yet they all did because they didn’t believe he’d actually do it. Is NATO up for the challenge? You’re watching history repeat itself.

Moment NATO jets intercept Russian SU-30 warplanes carrying supersonic missiles over the Baltic as Putin taunts the West in latest WW3 show of strength

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Swedish Airforce announced that its JAS 39 Gripen fighters intercepted two Russian combat aircraft believed to be armed with KH-31 missiles, a supersonic anti-radiation weapon designed to destroy ships and air defences units. An Il-20 signals intelligence aircraft was also identified in the mission and swiftly escorted away.

‘The Swedish Air Force is always on alert,’ the nation’s Armed Forces account tweeted in the wake of the successful interception, which was carried out with the assistance of Denmark.

It comes amid urgent efforts by NATO to bolster the eastern frontier with greater defences, after Russia’s unprecedented intrusion into Polish airspace on September 9 when up to 23 drones entered the territory. Romania then accused Moscow of breaching its airspace on September 13, as Latvia reported a drone crashing in its east.

And on Monday, Poland said a civilian drone flew over its presidential palace and government buildings, describing the incident as another ‘provocation’.

Meanwhile, Putin has put NATO further on edge by conducting war games with Belarus as part of the Zapad 2025 drills, which have historically been used to test different military strategies ahead of invasions. The Swedish Airforce began conducting operations in international airspace over the southern Baltic Sea after suspicious reports of aircraft travelling without flight plans and with their transponders turned off.

Swedish fighter aircraft then identified and escorted away a Su-30SM and a Su-30SM2 from Russia’s Baltic Fleet. Both were fitted with Kh-31 air-to-surface missiles, weapons capable of traveling at speeds up to Mach 3 as they penetrate modern ship defences and destroy enemy vessels.

‘NATO has suddenly woken up – or finally woken up,’ said Hamish de Bretton-Gordon OBE, a former British Army colonel.

‘We played lip service to the peace dividend… really giving the impression to Putin that we weren’t that bothered and we didn’t care. So in a way, it is slightly our own fault. We’ve got a show resolve now, otherwise he will keep going.’

European allies have rushed to organise an ‘Eastern Sentry’ mission to bolster security on the eastern flank, including the deployment of two F-16 fighter jets and a frigate from Denmark, three Rafale fighter jets from France and four Eurofighter jets from Germany. READ MORE
