Due to the presence of anti-aircraft fire forces, the U.S. military is currently gradually abandoning the invasion, and the Sulphur Island bipartisan attack ship returns to the Virgin Islands. But it does not rule out the possibility that the U.S. military will again provoke, after all, the main force of the U.S. military remains in the remote sea, Puerto Rico.
Chapter 5759: The First Exclusive
On October 5, the amphibious assault ship LHD 7 Iwo Jima, entrenched off the coast of Venezuela, retreated. The ship has been spotted entering the U.S. Virgin Islands and is currently docked at the port of St. Thomas. This means that the first phase of deterrence deployment of the US military failed and the main force will be withdrawn.

The core reason is that in the past few days, Venezuelan air defense forces exerted combat effectiveness and deployed multiple S-125 air defense missile launchers around key targets. At the same time, a large number of portable air defense missiles were deployed in place to establish an air defense posture. At the same time, the anti-stealth radar also found five F35 fighter jets, which shows that the US military's stealth fighter jets are actually not working well and have already exposed their traces in the face of powerful anti-stealth radars.

If the U.S. force invasion, then the F35 may be shot down, and when this scene occurs, it will hurt Loma's F35 sale. So, from the military industry perspective, if the F35 is shot down, it will cause a very serious domino effect, and the U.S. military industry will pay an astronomical cost, which is also one of the reasons the U.S. Army evacuated the Sulphur Island double attack ship.

From a war perspective, it can be judged that the US military is still not ready. One of the reasons is that it cannot suppress anti-aircraft firepower. Since the S-125 air defense missile launcher is mobile and difficult to completely destroy, once any fish escapes, it will pose a serious threat to the US helicopter assault group. At the same time, Venezuela also has a large number of shoulder-launched air defense missiles that are specifically targeted at targets such as low-altitude helicopters. If the US military invades rashly, the consequences will be very serious.
In terms of anti-ship, Venezuela's Su-30 has established deterrence. Although the number is small, the KH31 anti-ship missile is very combative. It has a flying speed of more than Mach 3.5, uses solid rocket engines, and also has anti-radiation models. It can be said that this missile gave Venezuela a say and dared to say no to the United States. As long as the missile hits one shot, it can cause heavy damage to Aegis destroyers such as the Burke class. One can imagine its power.
Due to the existence of anti-aircraft firepower, the US military is currently giving up the invasion in stages and the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima has returned to the Virgin Islands. However, the possibility of the US military provoking again cannot be ruled out. After all, the main force of the US military is still in Puerto Rico across the sea.
