【Getting Ready to Act? US Carrier Airwing Pilots Are Studying Venezuela's Air Defense System】
According to The Washington Post, a source with knowledge of the matter revealed that pilots from the aircraft carrier "Ford" are studying Venezuela's air defense system, including their deployment locations and defensive capabilities. Considering that the "Ford" carrier has already been deployed to the nearby waters of Venezuela, this news has raised questions: has the US military received some kind of order, and is it about to take action?
However, the source disclosed that he also does not know whether the US carrier-based pilots have received orders to launch at any time, but this is an unusual signal. If Trump really issues an order to conduct a military strike on Venezuela, weakening or even destroying Venezuela's air defense capability would be the first step. Currently, Venezuela's air defense mainly consists of old Russian systems, mostly "S-300", although Venezuela has repeatedly called on Russia to provide advanced air defense systems, and Maduro even wrote a personal appeal letter to Putin, but so far there has been no news of Russia providing new air defense systems to Venezuela, which is not surprising, because Russia itself doesn't have enough air defense systems, how could they possibly provide them to Venezuela!
According to the prediction of American expert Cance, the US can easily suppress Venezuela's air defense, just 170 missiles would be sufficient to destroy its air defense system. Given the current scale of US military deployment, it is evident that it already has this capability!
