I wonder where those big Ilyushin jumbos can land...

I guess elements of a paratrooper brigade could be flown over in them to secure an airstrip for a larger force? Complete speculation though, chances are nothing at all will happen.

I know Venezuela has been buying hardware for many years now, and has been looking to purchase diesel subs, has high performance aircraft and so on.

I don’t know much about them, but I would not be so quick as some posters are to jump to any conclusions.

They might very well be a bunch of no-loads.

But as any successful fighter pilot will tell you never, ever make any pre-judgements about your opponent. You treat each and every one of them as if he were The Red Baron himself.

We should do the same.
