Don't look like this is private citizens.
That's an A-10

Looks like one for sure.
Sounds like one too.

And the return AA fire appears to do more damage to the city than the A 10...

Yeah, all that shit gotta come down somewhere.
Did look the the Warthog took a couple to the tail section but those planes are some extremely durable assets.

It does look like the plane took some hits. It was smoking from at least one engine.

The guy with the firehose must have had a million rounds all linked up, lol.
Gotta wonder how much life is left in those barrels.

The video appears to be gameplay footage from Arma 3, often misused in conflict reports. While real explosions occurred in Caracas (per CNN, Reuters, AP), this clip doesn't match verified event footage.

Statement from the Ministry of Communications of Venezuela:
"We want to clarify that what occurred in the center of Caracas was due to drones flying over the area without authorization, and the police fired warning shots. There was no confrontation. The entire country is completely calm."

I was curious about what was firing at the plane. The only weapon that comes close to looking like that that the Venezuelans have is the ZSU-23/2 and it seemed more like a M163 Vulcan firing so...

I think you Trump Chumps should get familiar with the Venezuelan defensive capabilities. Essentially, any invasion will have to mimic what went down in Vietnam or Afghanistan. Neither bode well in regards to casualties on both sides.

I am. Venezuela is essentially defenseless. The population isn't intrinsically armed, nor are they particularly motivated to keep a Maduro / Socialist government in place.
