Posting this as part of the analysis of the invasion.

🇺🇸⚔️🇻🇪 Launch of a surface-to-air missile from a 9K338 Igla-S portable air defense system (MANPAD) against a helicopter belonging to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Night Stalkers) during the attacks on the Fuerte Tiuna military complex, south of Caracas, Venezuela, during the capture of Nicolás Maduro.

The FANB did attempt to shoot down some U.S. helicopters; however, it should be remembered that U.S. electronic warfare was extremely powerful. That part of the combat is not seen—nor can it be seen—but its impact is decisive. General Dan Caine himself confirmed that aircraft specialized in electronic warfare were deployed during the operation.

I am hopeful that an analyst from either Iran, China, Cuba or Russia will piece all of the information of the invasion into a forensic analysis.

There is just too much unknown here and all of the information that yankees had was crucial for their mafia kidnapping. Sadly, for our comrades in Venezuela, it seems that they were not prepared for this snatch and grab operation.

Also, it is important to remember that the US did not win with this. They haven't toppled the gov't and believing that snatching only Maduro will give them that victory is falling for the "Great Man theory" that libs like to tout.
