What is your opinion on the Venezuelan military?
Soldiers fight on their stomachs, Venezuela is starving. The National Guard steals and controls a lot of the food. No clue if the entire military is in on it though. But regardless I doubt they could even put down the gangs in Venezuela under any circumstance.
>They think they are a real pain in the ass for the US
>Believe their starvation is product of economical war.
>argue that they can stand an US invasion ith their ruski surplus equipment.
>People join the military cuz food
>not able to use real ammo on training.

Shit, like the whole government there.

Like most South American militaries, good at shooting protesters and not a whole lot else.
Also, where the fuck do they get these somewhat modern AKs from?
I'd expect them to use shit-old AKs and other trash.

They got ak 103s from the russians back in 2006, i was still living there back then and this was pretty bug news at the time, i miss when they used fals
>>33752244
Adopted the AK-103 as standard issue to replace their old beat up FN FALs. Around 2006 they bought about 100,000 from Russia and SVDs and optics. They also paid to set up factories for the rifles and 7.62x39 ammo. But those got delayed til fucking 2019 and now that Venezuela is a failed state shithole I doubt they'll ever actually be set up.
They made my dad learn to use and strip the old FAL and Browning Hi Power in high school, I wonder if they do that now with the 103s.
Check out those 203s on AKs... hideous.

Insane Chaves bought very expensive material from russia including sukhoi fighters

I think that it would be amusing to throw a sandwich at their ranks and watch the fight each other for it.

what the fuck
Loyal patriots of the Bolivarian revolution, I hope they kill all the capitalist saboteurs with their spicy AK-103s and make Venezuela great.
Got some pics of the Venezuelan military I can provide as a sort of reference. On paper, they do have quite a bit of stuff and some of it modern. Not sure how that's translating into reality at the moment.

Armbands are a tragic casualty to the Nazis. They're aesthetic af
You get the idea. Newer russkie gear mixed with older stuff.
I think that they need to learn to check their safeties

To this day i still think buying a T-72 was a bad choice. Should've went with the type-96 or a T-80
>>33754325
>T-80
No, the T-72 is a better choice for a shitbird jungle country that doesn't have the surplus money to spend on additional ungodly maintenance.
>>33754325
Venezuala's military equipment is bought mainly for parade use, there's no reason to sideline your biggest supplier (Russia) for a needless difference.

They're white elephants but they have some really sexy warplanes.
