On March 23, two Russian military aircraft arrived at the Michael Bolivar International Airport in Makati, on the outskirts of Caracas. According to reports, about 100 Russian officers and men were led by Vasily Tongkoshkurov, director of the mobilization bureau of the Russian General Staff. The purpose of this trip was to unload 35 tons of equipment at the airport in Russia in order to fulfill the military agreement between the two countries.
During Putin’s dispatch to Venezuela, the United States also carried out a series of military actions, and the US-Russia relationship appeared to be increasingly tense.
The star-spangled banner exemplified the sudden dispatch of the US Army infantry battalion from Texas to Poland in mid-March. Such steps are reminiscent of the Cold War era, and mobilizing troops without prior notice to the US unit is a major feature of the Soviet strategy. Let’s go to see the strength of the US Air force military through the following 4 Air Force Challenge Coins.

The first one is the F-22 Raptor. The main advantage of this fighter is equipped with sophisticated electronic systems and weapon systems. In the US Air Force’s global strike strategy, the Air Force will first use the stealth advantage of the F-22 to suppress the enemy ground air defense systems.
