US Tricked Venezuela's Air Defense Operators to Reveal Locations Before Maduro Raid
- •US forces allegedly used electronic warfare to trick Venezuelan air defense operators during 'Operation Absolute Resolve' to extract President Nicolas Maduro.
- •The operation involved jamming Russian-made air defense systems like S-300, Pechora-2M, Buk-M2E, and Pantsir-S1.
- •Operators increased radar power to counter jamming, inadvertently revealing their exact locations to US forces.
- •EA-18G Growlers and F-35C aircraft were central to this electronic warfare attack, targeting "lit up" positions.
- •This tactic allowed US forces to bomb the revealed locations with pinpoint accuracy, outsmarting Venezuelan defenses.
Why It Matters: US electronic warfare outsmarted Venezuelan air defenses by forcing operators to reveal their positions.
