It looks like Maduro may have negotiated a surrender with the US, with him and his wife being airlifted out by Delta Force, allowing Trump to achieve a major propaganda victory.
Venezuela's military wouldn't have been able to put up meaningful resistance against the US. Some sort of stand down order was given once the airstrikes began, as there was literally zero resistance, not even a shot fired at the helicopters flying incredibly low.

Following a brief lull in activity, likely due to weather conditions, Russian strategic aviation is back on the move and have completed their preparations for the next combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.
- 4 Tu-95MS strategic bombers redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase, Amur Oblast, to Engels-2 Airbase, Saratov Oblast, after being equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles. They have since flown north to Olenya Airbase.
- 3 Tu-95MS are still stationed at Olenya Airbase, alongside the 4 which have returned there, bringing the total concentration of aircraft there to 7.
- 3 Tu-95MS redeployed from Ukrainka Airbase to Belaya Airbase, Irkutsk Oblast, after being equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.
- 2-3 Tu-160 strategic bombers remain equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Ukrainka Airbase.
So, in short, 10 Tu-95MS and 2-3 Tu-160 strategic bombers are currently equipped with missiles, similar to the attacks carried out in December 2025.
- Additionally, as I have previously reported, this next attack is likely to include several Iskander-M ballistic missiles, a minimum of 6 Kalibr cruise missiles, and 4-8 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles. It may also include Iskander-K cruise missiles.
- A minimum of 400 Geran-2 drones will be used, however this number could be significantly higher considering the current concentrations of drones at launch sites surrounding Ukraine.
