I am looking at Venezuela's armed forces and they have a pretty impressive Air Defence network on paper for a Latin American country. Theoretically if a US led MNF force (including the likes of Brazil, Colombia, and Panama etc..) launch a military operation similar to the one that ousted Gaddafi in Libya in 2011 (Use of Air Assets + Cruise missiles mainly) with small number of US marines and NAVY Seals to help local anti-maduro rebels to seize towns, cities, key installations and such how do you think the conflict pan out?
Will it be a military/political success for the US or will Venezuelan legitimate government under Maduro manage to hold out? How will Maduro's allies respond? Will we get a situation similar to Libya conflict or will Russia make sure Venezuela's 100,000 strong military is adequately resupplied and supported in the international arena?
Here are some of the aircraft and weapons systems that may be involved by both sides in a hypothetical conflict:
Venezuela
S-300VM - 12 batteries
Buk M2 - 7 batteries
SA-3 Neva P2M - 24 batteries
TOR M1 - alleged?
ZSU-23-2 - 100 ~
Plus Various MANPADS
F-16
SU-30MK
US/MNF
F-35
FA-18
F-16
F-15E
B-1
B-52
F-22
+ numerous cruise missiles, sea launched, air launched, stand off weapons, glide bombs etc..
could the Venezuelan military hold out such a storm or is the prospect of facing numerous US led air assets and a rebel force on the ground too much for them to take?
