Breaking down Venezuela’s military as it stares down the United States

Descripción:

Venezuela’s military is underfunded, corrupt, and hollowed out by years of economic collapse, but that doesn’t mean it’s harmless. In this video, we break down what’s actually in Venezuela’s arsenal, from Russian-made Su‑30 fighters and T‑72 tanks to Iranian-backed drone factories and one of the most advanced surface‑to‑air missile systems in Latin America. While they aren’t a conventional threat to the United States, Venezuela’s growing ties with countries like Russia, Iran, and China are giving the Maduro regime asymmetric tools that could complicate any future conflict. We look at how Venezuela’s military stacks up, what parts of it are just for show, and what might actually pose a risk to U.S. forces or regional allies.
