LOL! how is Venezuela going to get its troops over there? I don't think their navy has that many row boats.
ack-ack
A while back they were giving the Russians a huge discount on oil in return the russians got to parade a few old warships around on a training mission with the Venezuelans. What I do know is they have 6 thrown away missile frigates from the Italian navy. I think they were commissioned in the early 80s, they come with a handful of SSM's and a few surface to air missiles.
A handful of Diesel submarines, I would say Kilo class since Russia has been giving them away for years to anyone that wants them.
The Russian navy wasn't to happy with the exercise, basically they found out quick the Venezuelan Navy couldn't row a boat straight let alone join them in a military exercise, I believe it was ended after 3 days.
One the Frigates was suppose to be attacked by an Northrop F-5 (yes this is their primary attack plane..stop laughin!)
Anyhow the Frigate forgot to turn on its Air Search radar, and ended up being sunk in the war game, as well as one of the Submarines suppose to ambush the russian guided missile destroyer - ran aground on coral reef.
I am curious if Venz is ever going to sell those F-16s to Iran, it was mentioned a while back and Venz basically blew it off as a joke saying they'd sell whatever they want. Not sure what threat the US made towards that deal, however I know the US doesn't allow the sale of its equiptment to other countries and must be expressly written for it.
Sure as hell know they won't allow Venz to sell it to Iran, curious what the US would do if they tried - I am guessing intercept the ship sent to pick them up.
