The flight-tracking website Flightradar24 reports that a U.S. military F/A-18E Super Hornet (RHINO51) entered Venezuelan airspace near the country’s northern coast just moments ago.
It appears RHINO51 switched off its transponder. More than 113,000 Flightradar24 users tracked the aircraft.
The U.S. military has not confirmed that the fighter jet entered Venezuelan airspace.

Pude contabilizar al menos cinco aviones de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos sobrevolando las costas de Venezuela.
Uno aparentemente habría entrado a territorio venezolano (RHINO51). Otro está sobrevolando Los Roques.

Conflicting reports…
No.

Hours ago, President Trump said, “It’s not only land strikes on Venezuela, it’s land strikes on horrible people that are bringing in drugs and killing our people you know If we were at war and we lost 200–300 thousand… that’s a war.”
