In recent hours, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) sources have reported a series of unprecedented flights carried out by U.S. Air Force (USAF) B-1B Lancer strategic bombers over the Caribbean — a region far from their usual deployment areas in Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific. The aircraft, identified by the callsigns “BAT-21” and “BAT-22,” took off from the state of Florida accompanied by three KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft (“MAINE-11,” “MAINE-12,” and “MAINE-13”), following a flight path that crossed Bahamian airspace heading south.
Although the specific purpose of the exercise or operation has not been confirmed, such flights are typically part of the Bomber Task Force’s (BTF) global training missions, intended to demonstrate the ability of U.S. bombers to operate across multiple theaters and project deterrent capability anywhere in the world.
This flight also follows similar recent operations involving B-52H bombers. The most recent of these took place just days ago, when Stratofortresses conducted comparable missions escorted by F-35B Lightning II stealth fighters from the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC). On that occasion, U.S. Southern Command stated that this unprecedented activity in the region aimed to “…demonstrate the United States’ commitment to proactively deterring adversary threats, improving crew training, and ensuring the global readiness levels necessary to respond to any contingency or challenge.”

Zona Militar????
President Trump says that’s not happening. I’ll believe him over something called Zona Militar.
It’s a military news site based in Argentina.
From shady sources the last couple days, sure, but it’s no secret B-52 exercises were held near Venezuela last week. B-1s wouldn’t seem to be necessary.
link please
🇺🇸🇻🇪 Trump says that earlier reports of B-1 Bombers near Venezuela are false.

Russian bombers routinely “visit” Venezuela, and then make aggressive sorties towards the point where they would release cruise missiles towards the United States, before turning towards Russia. Just a reminder to Venezuela that it’s a two-way street.
Spotted that, eh? In the English-language article for a company located in Buenos Aires, one finds the ONE source for the article.
"Open Source Intelligence Monitor focused on Europe and Conflicts across the World. RT ≠ Endorsement. Want to Support my Work? https://ko-fi.com/osintdefender
Media & News -- Company Georgia, USA -- discord.gg/gMyeW4jK5W -- Born November 19 -- Joined November 2021"
This is the geopolitical version of the "wrap up smear," wherein Blue Field Media -- which operates a number of "brands" including "Zona Militar" -- reports from some guy in the State of Georgia. American "open source" pretender.....
We had something like this on another thread today: 10/23/2025, 4:10:47 PM · 43 of 43 "Worldtraveler once upon a time to marcusmaximus; kiryandil"
As "content creators" over a number of platforms use AI tools to "create" videos, it is assured more of this will be seen. Fakes, and looking always for "donations" and "clicks."
Giving Maduro the BONE!
Yes sir! I love that that the Lancer is still in service.
They have to fly ‘em and refuel them anyway for training, so might as well make a point while doing it.
Just a little more psy-ops. Senor Maduro just keeps on poking the hornets’ nest.
Has Maduro learned NOTHING from the example carried out against Iran?
He has to appear tough and confident. He has an active opposition which he can barely keep contained. He strong enough to stay and keep them out of power but not strong enough to kill them out right! The mullahs in Iran are in a much better position power-wise.

Someone should tell the Wall Street Journal.
Gorgeous planes. They look like swans when the wings are extended. We used to watch them do touch and goes at Hill AFB in Utah.
“BAT-21”
That was a good movie, actually, and I enjoyed it a lot.
Oh, look ... a blue lancer ... (snicker) ...
They have to fly ‘em and refuel them anyway for training, so might as well make a point while doing it.
++++++++
ZACTLY
To me, they look like fighters, especially with the wings swept ... and then you see them with some context for scale and realize just how huge they are.
