Drones Play Crucial Role in Maduro Capture

BY MATTHEW WEISSMAN

Although many have heard about the over 150 aircraft used, a Stealthy US Air Force drone played a crucial role in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according to Defense News. Online videos show the RQ-170 Sentinel reconnaissance drone helped provide real-time intelligence and updates on to help the extraction force. This is definitely a use of drones in a way never publicly seen before. It is very cool to see the important role UAV drones are playing in the world around us, not just in the civilian world that most of us see in day-to-day life. Thanks for reading everyone and Happy New Year!
