Venezuelan Defense Ministry confirmed data on downed plane with American symbols

There are reports from Venezuela that the air defense systems of this Latin American state shot down an unknown plane. The information is confirmed by the Minister of Defense of the country Nestor Reverol.

The minister notes that the air defense command found an aircraft entering Venezuelan airspace using radars, which was moving without coordination with ground services.

From the report:

Further, there was an activation of special CODAI protocols, which are spelled out in the law.

As a result, the plane was shot down by air defense systems. What kind of complexes were used for this is not reported.

At the same time, the official Caracas is confirmed by the information that appeared on social networks that the plane that entered the Venezuelan airspace in the state of Zulia had an American registration number.

Nestor Reverol announced that the plane with the American registration number was carrying illegal substances - drugs.

The photo released by the Venezuelan Defense Ministry shows the American flag on the tail of a downed plane.

The front of the plane was completely burned out:

The fate of the crew is not reported.

There are no comments from the United States on the situation with the downed plane at this hour.

Most likely, the original is something like "signes" - "identification marks". That is, the country flag and registration number: "N" is the US prefix.

No, with modification the plumage does not change so much.

The Venezuelan military often shoot down unidentified planes used by the drug mafia. The last such case, when an aircraft with an American tail number was also "neutralized", occurred in July this year.
In 2013, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro authorized the shooting down of any drug mafia plane in the country's airspace. The initiator of the bill was Maduro's predecessor, Hugo Chavez.

Americans only comment on what they think is necessary. Therefore, waiting for any comments, and even more so about drug trafficking, is pointless. In the best case, the "office" for the fight against drugs can be noted and perhaps thank the Venezuelan air defense (irony). Well, the Venezuelan air defense officers can only be congratulated.

Well, judging by the intact plumage, they were shot down at low altitude and speed, otherwise the plumage would have been wrinkled. So, either he was landing or taking off. If he was cruising at low altitude (hiding from radars), it is very unlikely that an MZA or a machine gun would be in his way. And the bald patch on which the wreckage lies is very similar to an unpaved runway.

"To sell something unnecessary, you must first buy something unnecessary, but we have no money"(c) Prostokvashino.
This is about the fact that non-cash and banknotes are monitored, and the task of the agents is to bribe goods, not to privatize them. You summoned a plumber, take 0,5 by force (our version of freely convertible currency) and then give it back to pay him back? So what?

[Avior]

You have a strange analogy.
In reality, it will be like this - you, through security, bring to the distillery where alcohol is a shaft, your 0.5, to pay off, knowing that it will be difficult for him to take it back through the security.

[g1washntwn]

Analogy - 0,5 x 40 turns. For the underworld of Venezuela, kilograms of this powder are considered currency. It is safer to pay with this imported "currency". Those who import it do not care about the problems of conversion and laundering, they need to pay so that they will not be pinched later. Therefore, not suitcases with dollars and not cashless transfers from secret accounts of the CIA, but pure barter with goods that were cashed abroad shortly before (read - already cashed and laundered in different offshore companies). There was an option - weapons and special means for the drug mafia, but this is cumbersome and difficult, and the bags of what goes for a gram almost like bitcoin are an ideal replacement for banknotes for a "distillery".

[Avior]

Your logic is iron :)
In order for the Venezuelan underworld to sell drugs, you need to pay him with drugs.

I will not bother you
PS start here with this, and the drugs were found on the plane? Or traces of their presence? Not a word about it.

... the military personnel of the air defense command found with the help of radars entry into Venezuelan airspace an aircraft that moved without coordination with ground services.

I'm not the drug lord who sent this board. I was just making a guess. He could fly from the eastern part of Colombia to Florida, at least to some island in the Caribbean. Who knows what kind of traffic they have. As for the tail, in case of disasters it is usually alone and remains intact, even if everything else burns out. And if the plane was damaged and did not crash like a stone, but made a very hard landing, then even more so. Height in this case means little.

I was thinking purely geographically. For most of the possible destinations, Venezuela is easier to bend around than to cross its airspace.

As for the tail, in case of disasters it is usually alone and remains intact, even if everything else burns out. And if the plane was damaged and did not crash like a stone, but made a very hard landing,

That's it. If shot down at a high altitude, it will collapse. And here it looks like a landing, albeit a hard one. Your picture also shows clear signs of destruction already on the ground.

Height in this case means little.

How does it mean. If the HCF did not come off in the air, as was the case with Spring Vulovic, then the plumage will still be noticeably dented. And here it is intact. Even the tip of the RV, on which the HCF rests, is not crumpled. Although, it is composite.

Quote: Avis

When shot down, the plane may not necessarily crumble and crash, but simply get damaged, remain controllable and make an emergency landing. And what kind of landing, on what surface and what will happen to him after it depends on these damages and the skill of the crew.

That's exactly "damaged", well, or "knocked out". And "knocked down" it has already fallen here and now. But in another place on the branch, I also wrote that a landing is most likely: around the remnants, it seems, the main runway is visible and the belly of the fuselage was burned, but not burned, and the plane caught fire from the inside. Even the gangway door survived and still hangs on hinges. So, either they hit on takeoff / landing or damaged it uncritically, they could stay in the air.

Do not get to the bottom of the terms used by news authors on VO. Or are you not "local" and have not met their many blunders? Well, if you are so meticulous, if the aircraft, when the weapon was exposed to it, could not continue its flight, then it is considered to be shot down. Roughly the same with the term "interception". How many copies have been broken on this topic. Some believe that interception = destruction, although it can also be done for identification purposes, forcing a landing, etc. Our crews, during the post-flight report, said so - "in such an area it was INTERCEPTED by a pair of F-18s ..."

No, I've been here for five years with interruptions.
About "interception" - I agree; I also started explaining until I got tired of it. About "knocked down / knocked out / damaged" - no. However, "knocked down" are not terms. There is "destroyed" and "forced to leave the battle" (I'm not sure about the second, however).

The propellers were intact, not on takeoff, and not on landing, he stood still, these two trees were scorched, the plane had to demolish them. Nobody knocked down anyone there, there is an ordinary fire. In addition to the whole seizure, he also has to plow and set fire to the grass, but there is nothing there. Venezuelans are not obscene, they are simply bullshitting.

What other "whole propellers"? What kind of "trees", why and to whom was he supposed to take them down? What grass, why plow, and why can't you see the GWPP?
What are you talking about?

Photo of the plane burned down, posted by one of the commentators, look much higher.

Well, what do these "whole propellers" prove? And what kind of "two trees"? I didn't understand what I was talking about. In general, you have not answered any of the questions.

As a result, the plane was shot down by air defense systems. What kind of complexes were used for this is not reported.

Yes, we all guessed it already ...

With whom this does not happen. He flew to himself, counted the raven and then he was shot down. We must expect US sanctions for the fact that Venezuela shot it down and for the fact that it deliberately moved its border in order to be able to shoot down a peaceful American plane.
