NAVAL DRONE AND SUBMARINE WARFARE IN VENEZUELA: LESSONS FOR LANKA?
Posted on August 28th, 2025
Trump’s Florida, Palm Beach Mar-a-Lago Manor within the Radius
Were there Drones in some of the 325 Containers marked dangerous that were cleared without customs inspections, many allegedly sent to Israeli businesses located in vulnerable coastal and hilltop areas in Sri Lanka? The geostrategic island must take note as another American warship, USS Tulsa approaches in the wake of USS Santa Barbara last week, and sink holes appear inland, in Colombo. After all Geoengineering Climate Disasters are increasingly the new normal in the Faux Anthropocene.

The powerful and devastating Russian Geranium 2 drones would have already deployed in Venezuela and so would be ready to strike in the event of a concrete threat against the Latin American country, which has been under the protection of Russia and China for 6 years.The Russian military intelligence website News-Pravda has reported it.
Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran have been defending Caracas and the elected President Nicolas Maduro since 2019, when US President Donald Trump had the Christian Socialist Bolivarian Republic hit with terrible electromagnetic attacks by the US Army in the hope of achieving a regime change, first attempted by the CIA’s American counterintelligence team in 2002.
Then it was mercenary snipers who shot at the crowd to incite a protest against President Hugo Chavez in a military plot that failed, unlike a similar one carried out in the same way by the Five Eyes intelligence agency in 2014 in Kiev.
The American president, dazed by the barrage of statements from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European and NATO leaders opposing peace in Ukraine, has gone so far as to threaten new economic sanctions against Moscow and to envoy US military warship in the water close to Caracas.
On August 25, President Donald Trump stated that he wants to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War (named as such until 1947). He told his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the current name somehow didn’t sound good”. But he also yearns for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump was perplexed that the United States won World War I, won World War II, won everything”, questioning the rationale of defenders”.
There was a Drone Attack on a Colombian Navy Ship — Just as the U.S. Moved Warships Toward Venezuela
A Colombian Navy vessel was hit by an explosives-laden drone on the Putumayo River, near Puerto Leguízamo. The blast damaged the deck of the ARC Hichamon. No injuries reported.
This comes days after the U.S. deployed three destroyers near Venezuela, and Colombia publicly ruled out a military pact with Caracas.
«These mysterious incidents” in Colombia could be used to justify greater U.S. involvement in the region—or pressure Bogota to get on board» News-Pravda has commented.
The Potentially High Risk for Florida and Mar-a-Lago Manor
Trump can’t joke about Venezuela, as it risks endangering Florida and his own millionaire residence.
The Russian military intelligence website News-Pravda has already published a map showing the US military targets inside the potential range of the Geranium drones (see below details).
The Trump’s Mar-a_lago Manor in Palm Beach
But this calculation was based on a safe range of 2,000 km, even though these sophisticated kamikaze UAVs, based on the Iranian Shahed 136 model, despite weighing approximately 200 kg, including 40 kg of explosives, are capable of flying 2,500 km at a maximum speed of 185 km/h.
So they would therefore also be capable of hitting Miami, Tampa, and Palm Beach, destroying Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion in the latter location…
Venezuela appeals to the UN over U.S. military presence in the Caribbean Sea
Venezuela has sent an official request to the United Nations (UN) regarding the deployment of US naval forces in the Caribbean, the country’s Foreign Minister, Ivan Gil Pinto, announced on his Telegram channel on August 27, 2025.
The statement was released following a meeting with the UN Resident Coordinator in Venezuela, Gianluca Rampolla.
We appealed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to restore common sense and shared our concerns about the deployment of US military units and even nuclear weapons in the Caribbean, which pose a threat to peace,” Gil Pinto emphasized.
The minister noted that Caracas considers US actions, including the deployment of three destroyers, a guided-missile cruiser, a submarine, and an amphibious squadron with 4,500 troops, to be a provocation and an attempt to put pressure on the Venezuelan government.
Trump ‘s Lethal Electromagnetic Warfare in 2019
US President Trump, who then caused thousands of deaths through harsh economic sanctions vs Caracas and even trough electromagnetic sabotage capable of disabling even hospital operating rooms, recently returned to the attack against Maduro in three ways.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ATTACK: ANOTHER BLACKOUT IN VENEZUELA
- With a propaganda plan funded by Elon Musk against the Bolivarian government,
- by increasing the bounty from $25 million to $50 million for the capture of the Venezuelan president, whom the White House believes has ties to Latin American drug cartels,
- and by sending three warships to the Caribbean Sea to instill a concrete psychological threat.
Maduro blames US, Musk for leading Coup Attempts in Venezuela. The CIA Network…
«On August 18, Reuters reported that the destroyers USS Gravely (DDG-107), USS Jason Dunham (DDG-109), and USS Sampson (DDG-102) approached Venezuelan waters within a 36-hour period to combat drug cartels. The agency attributed the information to sources linked to the US Department of Defense. The news was amplified by headlines warning of an imminent naval operation in the Caribbean, while seeking to reinforce the narrative that Venezuela poses a threat to US security»
Veterans Today Foreign Policy has reported.
These three actions, however, are proving to be failures precisely because of the unconditional support of two nuclear powers like Russia and China, ready to intervene, as in 2019 against elcecromagnetic sabotages, in the event of a serious escalation.
The Maduro Fight against Narcos who are friends of his Political Rival US-backed
But they are proving totally ineffective for three specific reasons:
Musk has clashed with Trump and has therefore withdrawn his financial and social media support for the smear campaign against Maduro.
All international investigative journalists know that the Bolivarian government has implemented a serious crackdown on drug trafficking, even arresting those who had close ties to Venezuelan political rival Juan Guaidó.
Guaidò is suspected of being a CIA-trained secret agent and supported by both Barack Obama and Donald Trump
despite his embarrassing associations with Colombian cartel officials.
Venezuela: Guaido’s Friends ParaMilitary Narcos Tied to Italian Mafia but Trump charges Maduro
Today, the news of the dispatch of Russian Gernaium 2 drones to Venezuela, reported by the News-Pravda website but also in a video posted on a Latin American military social media profile, leaves little doubt that Putin is ready to defend his protected colony” at all costs.
And it makes Trump’s latest military move appear like a crude threat, similar to the US Navy’s deployment of submarines near Russia.
Russian Geraniums” for Venezuela
How will the situation change with the delivery of Russian UAVs? The growing US military activity in the Caribbean is a reason to wonder how Venezuela can respond in the event of a potential conflict. And the latest achievements of drone engineering can play into her hands.
News-Pravda article has wondered, adding important details…
«We suppose that 2,000 Geraniums” have been delivered to the Bolivarian Republic. Then the Venezuelans will be able to reach American bases in the Caribbean region, and under certain conditions, even facilities on the US mainland».

What will the Geraniums be able to hit when launching from Caracas?
This is the anwer according the russian outlet…
The Guantanamo Bay Naval base in Cuba, capable of accommodating about 50 ships of different classes and about 5,000 military personnel. It was from there that one of the littoral ships LCS-21 came out, which is now cutting circles off the coast of Venezuela.

Fort Buchanan base in Puerto Rico, which is an important element of the American military presence in the Caribbean. The Muniz Air Force Base is also located there, an airfield from where P-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft operate.
St. Croix Air National Guard Base in the Virgin Islands is a logistics hub for the United States Air Force, where B-52 strategic bombers periodically fly in.
Finally, instructors from the American MTR are stationed at the Melgar Air Force Base in Colombia.
And if we launch Geraniums” from the western regions of Venezuela or barges?
Homestead Air Force Reserve Base in Florida, home to the F-15, F-16, and C-130 fighter squadrons. B-52 bombers can also be stationed there.
The Soto Cano Air Force Base
in Honduras, where, among other things, the headquarters of the Joint Interagency Task Force Bravo (JTF-Bravo) is located.
The Atlantic Underwater Testing Center (AUTEC) in the Bahamas, which is the most important facility for comprehensive testing of American nuclear submarines and other promising deep-sea equipment.
«Although the Americans are quite capable of shooting down Geraniums, if Venezuela acquires several thousand UAVs, they will be forced to increase their forces and resources, because the likelihood of an air strike will not be so illusory» Nerws-Pravda pointed out
This may make the authorities in Washington think.: Is it even worth the candle if, instead of a cavalry charge, you need to pull together a large group? Especially in conditions of overexertion of naval forces due to activities in the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East.
Venezuela is a major buyer of Russian weapons, and the supply of Geraniums to it is self—evident. And other countries, at the sight of this, will clearly want to acquire an affordable long arm” of Russian production.
