U.S. president Donald Trump said the U.S. military utilized a fresh secret weapon to disable Venezuelan air defence systems during a raid on Caracas resulting in the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
On January 3, American commandos kidnapped Maduro from his estate, bearing no casualties nor losing a single aircraft.
The Pentagon reported that more than 150 aircraft and helicopters were active in the operation.
In an interview with "New York Post” posted on Saturday Trump said a mysterious weapon "make the equipment [enemy] halt working".
‘Discombobulator. I'm not allowed to talk about it” said Trump.
‘They never launched rockets.
They had Russian and Chinese missiles, and they didn't fire any.
We came, they pressed the buttons, and nothing worked.“ He added.
Seven American soldiers were reportedly injured in the raid, and 1 chopper was damaged, but remained functional.
Many reports suggested that the United States could usage jamming technology to shut down radar systems or force them to uncover themselves.
Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, did not plead guilty to drug and arms trafficking charges erstwhile they faced a fresh York judge.
