Apparently the idea of using a Z flag became popular until they boarded that one. A message to insurers and owners
Venzuela gave 50,000 barrel a d a y free to Cuba. I suppose it was like the last bastion of local relatively pure communism.
They had to keep the dream alive as a momento and prove they can defy logic..
So they relaese the politcal prisoners yesterday. It was three or so days later after Trump was asked about them on the plane.
The conversation was about US Venezualan oil and the reporter asks about the prisoners and clearly Trump was unaware of them.

Why Stealth Black Hawks Weren't Used For Maduro Capture Mission
While stealth helicopters, which may or may not still exist, were central to the Bin Laden raid, the Venezuela operation was different in key ways.

I didn't know what to believe when I read this earlier today. Bur Walter Kirn reposted the same thing today. He had mentioned some unbelievable pictures he had seen several days ago.

This smells like BS. A security guard loyal to Maduro in Venezuala would be to afraid to even give an interview. Even now this country still operates on "if you speak up you will be snatched by: military, police or militias loyal to the government", people only exchange information on Whatsapp, nothing goes out to social media.

The very beginning of the story seems plausible enough.
Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react.
Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?
Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before.
What comes next however... heh.
The "300 rpm" is reasonable, in fact lower rof than what the M197 fielded by the Viper (750rpm min). M134 has a much MUCH higher rof.
Sonic weapons? They are a thing. Never heard of them being mounted on flying platforms though. Not sure if they would work either, but aside from the core effects of such weapons I know nothing about them.
Is there such a thing as "concussion rockets"? We know, because we saw, rockets were fired from some helos. So, taking at face value what that "security guard" said and the whole "nose bleeding, noise, vomiting, etc..."
But "in essence", it is fairly, broadly, plausible.
ish

IR flares weren't really a widely known thing either before the operation, so not impossible that they used other new (experimental) technology. But I think this is more likely an embellished story to explain the embarrassment of having El Presidente snatched out from under the noses of a layered defence system by a much smaller ground element while exacting a price of exactly squat.

Karoline’s whole job is to spout BS just like every White House Spokesman ever. Her saying something does not add to the credibility.
