Venezuela has requested assistance from Russia, China, and Iran to strengthen its defenses amid the ongoing standoff with the US regime, the Washington Post claimed on Friday, citing US government documents.
According to the newspaper, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping requesting radar detectors and directly citing the “escalation” with the USA.

Caracas also reportedly urged Iran to provide radar-jamming equipment and drones capable of flying up to 1,000 km (around 600 miles) in order to reach Puerto Rico.
The Washington Post cited documents indicating that Venezuelan Transport Minister Ramon Celestino Velazquez was set to deliver a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin during his trip to Moscow last month, requesting unspecified missiles and assistance in repairing Su-30MK2 fighter jets and radar systems previously purchased by Venezuela.
The report added that it is unclear how Russia, China, or Iran responded to the requests.

American dream is a pipe-dream, that’s why they are addicted to drugs. American wealth building, for the few, is stealing other countries’ resources, making conflicts and then selling weapons to every conflicted side. Subconsciously Americans know what they are doing is WRONG.
Just another reason they became junkie states to try to escape from their wrongdoings……historically speaking.
Hopefully Russia sent them the Bastion coastal defense platform.
This a test for Russia, China and Iran to demonstrate whether they are reliable allies. Venezuela needs to fight mainly the US navy – the carrier born fighters and the destroyer/submarine launched missiles.
USA will not go for the Boots on the Ground option due to high casualty rate. Look at how Yemen defended against the American aircraft carrier in the Gulf region. It lost 3 fighter jets and ran home.
