Venezuela originally purchased its fleet of F-16s in 1983 for US$615 million.

I wonder if that batch included the "remote destruction" option.

Who cares? They're F-16As, probably Block 15s. USAF Viper fleet right now is centered around F-16C Block 40s and Block 50s (and LockMart is building F-16E Block 60s for foreign customers like the UAE).

There's almost a quantum difference between what we fly and what Chavez's Air Farce flys. Ours have AMRAAM and BVR capability, his don't. Ours have PGM capability, his don't. Ours have SEAD/HARM capability, his don't. I could go on and on and on. Him or Castro trying to take us on with those planes would make the clubbing of baby seals look like a fair fight.
