The United States has sent B-1 Lancer strategic bombers to Venezuela, according to US administration officials, APA reports citing The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
According to the publication, two B-1 supersonic bombers took off from Dyess Air Force Base (Texas) on Thursday and flew near the Bolivarian Republic. The American military aircraft, the publication notes, did not enter Venezuelan airspace.
The US is not deploying the aforementioned bombers to the region, the newspaper notes, since the B-1s have sufficient range to reach any point in the Caribbean from US territory.
The B-1 supersonic bomber entered service in the 1980s. Only about 100 of these aircraft were built.
