Hegseth mocks Russian defense systems in Venezuela: They didn't work, did
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has publicly questioned the effectiveness of Russian air defense systems deployed in Venezuela, following a US military operation in Caracas that ended with the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

During a speech as part of his "Freedom's Arsenal" tour in Virginia, Hegseth directly referred to Russian air defense systems, mocking their failure to stop American forces.

"About 200 of our best Americans went into downtown Caracas three nights ago to capture a high-profile target. It seems those Russian air defense systems didn't work so well, did they? " he said, according to comments released by the Pentagon.

The American operation took place on the night of January 3 and included strikes on several military and government facilities in the Venezuelan capital.

Hegseth stressed that there were no casualties or injuries on the American side during the mission and that the operation was carried out in support of American law enforcement agencies.

Venezuela has received numerous supplies of Russian air defense systems for more than a decade, including S-300VM systems delivered in 2013, as well as Buk-M2 and Pantsir-S1, which were reportedly transferred in late 2025.

Earlier, on January 3, US forces destroyed a Russian Buk-M2E system at La Carlota air base in Caracas, as part of a broader strike on Venezuelan military infrastructure.

The system was deployed to protect strategic targets around the capital and was part of a Buk-M2E battalion delivered to Venezuela in late 2025.
