Venezuela Deploys Iranian Long-Range Drones in Response to US Intervention Threat The Carague Air Force announced the acquisition of Mohajer-6 drones, making them the first confirmed armed drones in service in the country. Based with Su-30MK2 fighter jets, these long-endurance drones offer modern reconnaissance, surveillance, and target designation capabilities. This acquisition comes amid an increased US military presence in the region, exemplified by the deployment of strategic bombers and carrier strike groups simulating attacks on Venezuela.
