Venezuelan IGLA shoots its shot
This quick compilation shows two angles of a Venezuelan SAM launch amid the American combat action launched on Caracas in the early morning of 03 January 2026. This was reportedly an IGLA- essentially the Russian/former Soviet answer to the Stinger MANPADS. The second angle shows the missile striking a nearby hill. While ineffective, the launch dispels any notion that the United States' aerial incursion was completely unopposed.
