🇻🇪🔥🇺🇸 TODOS los "DETALLES TÁCTICOS" de la CAPTURA de NICOLÁS MADURO por la FUERZA DELTA ⚠️⚫️

Operation Absolute Resolve: The Capture of Nicolás Maduro

Overview of the Operation

• Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured by the United States in Caracas, Venezuela. This event is described as a simple statement but involves complex details that reveal impressive operational execution.

• The video presents a technical and operational reconstruction of "Operation Absolute Resolve," executed on January 3, 2026. It aims to dissect each layer of the operation from months of clandestine infiltration to the final assault.

Infiltration and Intelligence Gathering

• To understand Operation Absolute Resolve, one must look back to August 2025 when CIA agents infiltrated Venezuela disguised as civilians. Their mission was not sabotage but observation.

• This team collected "Pattern of Life Intelligence," analyzing Maduro's daily behaviors to identify routines and opportunities for action. They gained insights into his personal life through a high-level informant within the chavista government.

Technical Preparations

• Surveillance included using RQ170 Sentinel drones equipped with thermal and multispectral sensors to map key locations in Caracas, including military complexes.

• A replica of Maduro's offices was constructed at a secret base in Kentucky for Delta Force operators to practice their assault hundreds of times, focusing on speed and efficiency.

Execution Strategy

• The operation was timed deliberately during the festive season when military discipline typically relaxes. Donald Trump authorized it on December 25, 2025; execution orders were given late on January 2, 2026.

• Over 150 aircraft participated from various bases across the Caribbean. This included advanced fighter jets like F22 Raptors and F35A Lightnings for air superiority.

Electronic Warfare Tactics

• Despite Venezuela's dense anti-air defenses featuring Russian systems like S300 VM and numerous portable missiles, U.S. technology proved superior.

• A massive cyber offensive initiated before U.S. helicopters arrived disabled key electrical sectors in Caracas, disrupting communication systems crucial for defense coordination.

LJ Dum and Advanced Munitions

Overview of Laser Joint Direct Attack Munition (LJ DAM)

• The LJ DAM is a hybrid smart bomb, combining GPS inertial guidance with laser guidance, ideal for urban environments and precise targets.

• Compatible with F35 Lightning II and F22 Raptor aircraft, enhancing their operational capabilities.

GBU39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB)

• The GBU39 SDB is a lightweight, highly accurate bomb designed to maximize target engagement per air sortie.

• Weighing only 110 kg, it is effective for precision strikes against military infrastructure and key nodes in conflict zones.

Understanding Delta Force and Night Stalkers

Delta Force: Structure and Purpose

• Officially known as First Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta (FSD), commonly referred to as Delta Force or Fuerza Delta.

• This elite unit executes high-risk missions that other forces cannot undertake, operating under the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).

• Missions are authorized at the highest levels of political and military power, ensuring rapid decision-making without bureaucratic delays.

Night Stalkers: Elite Aviation Unit

• Formally known as 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), they specialize in night operations at low altitudes.

• Their primary role is to insert, sustain, and extract secretive units like Delta Force in hostile environments.

Aircraft Utilized in Operations

MH47G Chinook Block 2

• At least five MH47G Chinook Block 2 helicopters were confirmed to participate in operations based on local video evidence.

• These helicopters feature reinforced structures and redesigned fuel tanks for extended range while flying low to avoid radar detection.

Defensive Systems

• Equipped with AN/AAQ24 Némesis systems that detect incoming missiles by blinding or disorienting their guidance systems.

Personnel Capacity Estimates

• Each MH47G can transport between 30 to 36 personnel; assuming five helicopters operated conservatively at half capacity suggests around 75 to 80 soldiers involved.

Support Aircraft: MH60M Black Hawk DAP

Role of Black Hawk DAP Helicopters

• Six MH60M Black Hawk DAP helicopters served as armed escorts during the operation.

Overview of the DAP Direct Action Penetrator and Its Role in Operations

Description and Capabilities

• The DAP (Direct Action Penetrator) is specifically designed for offensive combat, close air support, and protection of special operations forces during high-risk insertions.

• The MH60M DAP is essentially a modified Black Hawk helicopter that can integrate various armaments including 30 mm automatic cannons, Hydra 70 rockets, and AGM 114 Hellfire missiles.

Operational Context

• During an operation, the primary function of the DAP was to secure the immediate environment of an incursion by neutralizing threats such as rooftops occupied by snipers and armed patrols on the ground.

• A video showcases one of these helicopters firing high-explosive Hydra rockets at a Venezuelan position near Fort Tiuna.

Tactical Execution of the Assault

Timeline of Events

• At 2:01 AM Caracas time, helicopters descended on the target but faced light arms fire and RPG attacks from ground forces. This prompted a strong response from Black Hawk helicopters.

• Delta Force operators breached a reinforced steel door using explosive charges likely made from M112 DC4 blocks to enter the complex.

Engagement Details

• Inside the complex, Delta operators had absolute tactical superiority using GPN VG18 night vision goggles with a 97º field of view to navigate in complete darkness while facing blind fire from Venezuelan guards.

• The assault timeline included securing the outer perimeter within 60 to 120 seconds followed by intense firefights against Venezuelan and Cuban forces in stairwells. By three minutes into the operation, they located Nicolás Maduro.

Capture of Nicolás Maduro

Arrest Procedure

• Official reports indicate that Maduro attempted to hide in a panic room but was apprehended before he could fully secure himself inside. Within five minutes, Delta operatives informed their superiors that Maduro was under custody and ready for extraction.

• Initial resistance from Maduro was noted; however, he ultimately cooperated for extraction via an MH47G Chinook helicopter after approximately five minutes post-breach.

Casualties Reported

• The operation resulted in significant casualties with reports indicating at least 80 fatalities among Venezuelan military personnel, Cuban intelligence agents, and nearby civilians due to bombardments at Fort Tiuna and La Carlota airport.

Involvement of Cuban Forces

Confirmation of Casualties

• Cuba officially confirmed that 32 citizens died during this operation; these individuals were not ordinary civilians but members involved in personal security for Nicolás Maduro as well as strategic intelligence roles within Cuba's government apparatus.

Implications

• This indicates that elite Cuban operators were deployed directly on-site for Maduro’s protection rather than merely providing symbolic advisory support or political cooperation—highlighting serious operational stakes involved in this mission against him.

U.S.-Venezuelan Military Dynamics

American Casualties

• Although there were no initial confirmed U.S fatalities during this operation, six American soldiers sustained injuries due to shrapnel and machine gun fire during their approach towards the target area.(1054]

Strategic Advantages

• The success attributed to rapid execution stemmed from Venezuela's inability to organize a coordinated counterattack due to disrupted communication among mid-level commanders following B1B bomber strikes on command centers.(1076]

Radar Limitations

• Analysis revealed that key radar systems operated by Venezuela were not deployed at critical moments which created vulnerabilities exploited by U.S forces during their low-altitude approach over Caracas.(1100]

Nicolás Maduro's Capture: A Detailed Account

The Initial Capture and Transport

• Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores were provided with earplugs and blindfolded as part of standard security protocols during their capture. This moment was captured in a famous photograph of Maduro.

• During the transport on the USS Wima, Maduro requested to use the bathroom twice. The global communication capabilities allowed key figures like General Dan Kane, Donald Trump, John Radcliff, and Marco Rubio to monitor his transfer in real-time from Mar-a-Lago.

Interrogation and Legal Proceedings

• After being transported to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, an initial interrogation was conducted under national security protocols before they were moved to New York.

• Upon arrival at Stuart Air National Guard Base, they were helicoptered to a Manhattan heliport and then taken by land to DEA offices for federal procedures prior to their judicial presentation.

Charges and Implications

• Both individuals faced federal custody for charges related to narcoterrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation into the United States.

• The operation named Absolute Resolve set a new military power projection standard by demonstrating the ability of U.S. forces to extract a sitting head of state with precision while minimizing large-scale conflict through advanced technology.

Historical Context

• Notably, Maduro's capture occurred exactly six years after Iranian General Kassem Soleimani's assassination on January 3, 2020, and 36 years after Manuel Antonio Noriega surrendered during Operation Just Cause on January 3, 1990.
