A man who said he was part of the security detail for Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro described the actions of U.S. troops as unprecedented, claiming Venezuelan forces offered little resistance. Speaking in Spanish, the man said the American forces entered without being detected by Maduro’s security and killed hundreds of fighters, despite being heavily outnumbered.
“Those 20 men killed hundreds of their men, and none of those [American] soldiers were injured,” a man translating the Venezuelan insider said.
“It was a massacre,” the insider said, per the Daily Wire. “We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed … it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.”
The man said U.S. forces were using a technology that created the mismatch, including the use of what he described as “a very intense sound wave.”
“Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” he said. “We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.”
The account, described as coming from the Venezuelan perspective, has been cited by several figures, including White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, as a warning to those who might challenge the U.S. military.
American military officials have outlined details of the 88-minute raid on Venezuela, describing it as one of the most complex operations ever conducted by the United States, the DW added.
“Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us,” he continued. “We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.”
Here’s more:
Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn’t hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.
Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?
Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.
Interviewer: And then the battle began?
Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.
Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn’t they help?
Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.
Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?
Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.
Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?
Security Guard: Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with.
Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America?
Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region.
