While I do not agree with the abduction of Venezuela’s leader, especially with such a hazy unclear plan of what to do next, it is incredible how much the strike undermines critical Russian air defense doctrine and technology issues to the point that I have to wonder whether they can truly consistently protect anyone or anything outside of a shrinking circle where the elite of Russia reside.
Maybe most Venezuelan air defense crews and military were bribed? Even in the event of that, it is a stunning example of how air defense is a multi-dimensional thing that you can’t fail at any level on or else the entire thing collapses.
