Main equipment
The main systems and vehicles identified in the training are as follows:
- SAM S-125M-2M “Pechoa-2M”-Middle-range air defense system.
- BMP-3 & ZBD-05 IFV-Infantry Battle Armored Vehicle.
- M114 & OTO-Melara MOD 56 Tosards-Traveling of various calibers.
- ZU-23-2-Immediate defense anti-aircraft guns for low altitude targets.
Additional installations and military support factors were also observed, suggesting that it is a comprehensive coastal defense training that integrates air defense weapons, armored vehicles and artillery.
The analysts interpreted the training as a strategic response to Washington’s hostile remarks and the US Navy’s regional existence. Venezuela is promoting symbolic and military strengthening as part of the forced policy, and is trying to showcase the posture in preparation for potential conflicts or external threats.
The Venezuelan government is also strengthening its domestic mobilization program. In recent years, it has been reported as part of an official strategy to expand the use of weapons to civilians and to build a “national shield” in the rise of military tensions.
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez is a key figure in the national defense strategy, raising the level of public remarks by repeatedly insisting that Venezuela is in a “unprecedented war.”

Venezuela is showing off internal security and territorial control, while strengthening the alliance and strengthening the strategic position.
