How a Sonic US Weapon Stopped a Venezuelan Navy Ship Without Firing a Shot

Описание: n a tense and little-known naval encounter in the Caribbean, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter stopped an aggressive Venezuelan patrol boat without firing a single bullet. Instead, American forces relied on a powerful non-lethal weapon known as a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) — often called a “sonic weapon.”

This video breaks down what really happened during the confrontation between USCGC James and the Venezuelan patrol vessel Naiguatá during a U.S. counter-narcotics operation. As tensions escalated, the Venezuelan ship attempted a dangerous ramming maneuver, forcing the U.S. crew to act fast. The use of an LRAD allowed the Coast Guard to defend their ship, disrupt the attack, and avoid deadly force.

The situation took a dramatic turn when the Venezuelan vessel suffered catastrophic damage and eventually sank — yet the U.S. Coast Guard remained on scene and rescued all 44 Venezuelan sailors, highlighting professionalism even in the face of aggression.

We also explore the geopolitical backdrop, including U.S.–Venezuela tensions, sovereignty disputes, and how modern navies are increasingly relying on non-lethal technologies to manage dangerous encounters at sea.

This incident shows how technology, international law, and geopolitics collide in modern naval warfare — and why sonic weapons like the LRAD are becoming essential tools for today’s military forces.
