Amid the United States military operation against drug trafficking ordered by President Donald Trump in the Caribbean region, the Bolivarian Navy, commanded by dictator Nicolás Maduro, boasted about the manufacture of a new "weapon of mass destruction": an aquatic drone. Which looks more like a toy than anything else.
This aquatic drone, which the authorities of the Venezuelan dictatorship claim will supposedly be used in the country's defense, will face off against the military equipment that will be used during the United States deployment in Caribbean waters. This includes three missile-launching ships, three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, spy planes, and a nuclear attack submarine.
"There is no precedent in Venezuela for a device of this magnitude (...) I present to you the RAMMAX," an officer of the Bolivarian Navy can be heard saying in audiovisual material uploaded to social media.

The creators of this unmanned weapon emphasize that it was manufactured with ecological materials, with renewable energy, under open-source software, that it is not detectable by conventional radars, and that its production and creation are 100% due to Venezuelan talent working under the orders of the dictatorship.
"It is a tactical product for the defense of our Blue Venezuela. Its engineering and internal system are unprecedented, developed by its creator," details the publication made on social media.
Meanwhile, while the narco-chavista tyranny fantasizes about the creation of a drone that is still in the testing phase, the United States deployment, which is estimated to involve a total of 4,000 military personnel, continues on its course.
In recent hours, naval enthusiasts and Central American media have reported that USS Lake Erie, a warship equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles for air and land targets, has crossed the Panama Canal and is heading to Venezuela.
