The Strategic Operational Commander of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (Fanb), Domingo Hernández Lárez, reported that during the exercise of the upper phase of the Independence Plan 200, an exercise was carried out with combat aircraft through which a hostile aircraft was disabled in the native sky.
He specified that with this the number rises to 24 hostile aircraft disabled so far this year and 415 since the creation of the Comprehensive Aerospace Defense Command (Codai).
He added that “two structures were deployed in this exercise: armed force and management bodies, each with 25 tasks to search on the ground.”
In that sense, he specified that in the Battlefield Operational Systems it was deployed looking for positions in the event of a military aggression, since, in the event of a scenario of that style, daily life should not be lost. “There cannot be a strategic paralysis, the people must continue marching, the children going to schools, the works must continue to be carried out (…) Everything must be working, but in this exercise we take a position of deconcentration of our means and development of all plans, that is, deployment throughout the country.”
It should be noted that two weeks ago, as reported by the Commander Hernández Lárez Another aircraft that illegally and furtively entered the airspace was intercepted and immobilized. On that occasion, the number of disabled aircraft reached 21 in 2025 and 412 since the implementation of the Airspace Control Law.
