Last night, intelligence aircraft, tankers supplying fuel in mid-flight,” he indicated.\n\nThe military chief pointed out that the United States crosses the Venezuelan “flight information region” and “most of the time they violate operational rules because they do not notify their flight plan, which could cause air accidents.”\n\nLikewise, he mentioned several types of aircraft that have been identified, such as the Boeing RC-135, which is designed to “collect and process information in real time” and “its range reaches Venezuelan territory” through, he underlined, “intelligence, electronic and signal systems, radars, cameras, advanced sensors”.\n\n“They are planes that are doing intelligence and we know it. Intelligence for what? They will know, we are doing our internal intelligence processes,” he anticipated.\n\n“We are prepared. Before each flight we take action individually or collectively. We know what they are doing. We know the deployment they have in the Caribbean Sea, with the intention of sowing a war,” he assured.\n\nIn his opinion, this deployment “is looking for an incident” so that Venezuela falls into “the game of provocation” and allows the United States to “escalate with legitimacy” in the “military conflict and produce the aggression” that they have been “announcing for a month.”\n\nThe United States maintains eight missile-equipped military ships and a nuclear-powered submarine deployed near the Venezuelan coast under the argument of combating drug trafficking, but Nicol\u00e1s Maduro’s Executive considers this an attempt to promote a “regime change” in the South American country.\n\n\n

This Saturday, the Government of Venezuela assured that a U.S. “destroyer” “deployed eighteen personnel with long weapons” and occupied this Friday the vessel, where “nine humble fishermen” were located in the “Venezuelan Exclusive Economic Zone”.<\/p>\n\n\nGodfather L\u00f3pez called this Sunday for “active resistance” and “permanent offensive” against “the aggression and military threat of the largest, most genocidal, most outlandish power in its principles, which is the power of the north, the United States of America.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
