Venezuela Forces Launch SURPRISE ATTACK on US Navy Aircraft Carrier — Navy's Response Is MERCILESS

Описание: At 2:47 PM, Venezuela made a $400 MILLION mistake. Eight Venezuelan military aircraft—six Su-30 Flankers and two F-16s—launched a surprise attack on the USS Gerald R. Ford, America's newest aircraft carrier conducting freedom of navigation operations 70 nautical miles offshore.What happened next was a masterclass in modern naval warfare that lasted exactly 4 minutes and 12 seconds.The Setup:

Venezuelan forces: 8 fighters armed with Russian Kh-31 anti-ship missiles
US forces: USS Gerald R. Ford + 3 Arleigh Burke destroyers + 16 F/A-18E Super Hornets
Venezuelan belief: Ford was isolated and vulnerable
Reality: Every movement tracked from engine startup
The Engagement:
✅ E-2D Hawkeye detected Venezuelan jets at 140 nautical miles
✅ 16 Super Hornets launched in 7 minutes 18 seconds
✅ 20 AIM-120D AMRAAM missiles fired at 80 nautical miles
✅ All 8 Venezuelan aircraft destroyed in 4 minutes 12 seconds
✅ American fighters NEVER entered visual range
✅ ZERO US casualties, ZERO US aircraft damagedThe Cost:

Venezuelan losses: $400 million in aircraft
US expenditure: $36 million (missiles + fuel + SAR)
Loss ratio: 11 to 1
Lesson learned: PRICELESS
In this video, we break down:
✅ Second-by-second timeline of the engagement
✅ How E-2D Hawkeye early warning system works
✅ AIM-120D AMRAAM missile capabilities (Mach 4, 75-100nm range)
✅ Why Venezuelan pilots never had a chance
✅ The physics of beyond-visual-range combat
✅ Carrier strike group defensive doctrine
✅ Why attacking US carriers is military suicide
✅ The $400M lesson Venezuela will never forgetTechnical Breakdown:

EMALS catapult system: 0 to 165 mph in 2.1 seconds
APY-9 radar: 300+ nautical mile detection range
SM-2/SM-6 missiles: 96 vertical launch cells per destroyer
Link 16 data network: Real-time threat sharing
Mach 4 intercepts: 2,800 mph closing speed
This wasn't a battle. This was a demonstration of why the US Navy remains the world's most dominant maritime force.🔔 Subscribe for military analysis and naval warfare breakdowns!Timeline:
