Venezuela Raid Raises Questions About Moscow's Military Tech
The recent US military operation in Venezuela has raised questions about the effectiveness of Russian air defenses. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth highlighted the success of the operation, noting that Russian systems failed to down American aircraft. Experts, including Ralph Savelsberg and Mark Cancian, suggest that the outcome may be due to the overwhelming nature of the US assault rather than a failure of the Russian systems themselves. The operation involved 150 aerial assets and a multi-layered electronic assault, which may have contributed to the success. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
