US ‘Night Stalkers’ in Caribbean: Concerns Rise Amidst Venezuela Regime Change Fears
The elite helicopter unit, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), known as the Night Stalkers, has a long history of carrying out dangerous missions, most of which take place under the cover of darkness. Recently, the Night Stalkers have been spotted off the coast of Venezuela, coinciding with increased pressure from the US on President Nicolás Maduro’s government. This military presence, along with other deployments and covert actions, has raised concerns about a potential US intervention in Venezuela, with several possible outcomes being considered. Some believe that the situation could lead to the removal of Maduro, or a deal that would grant the US access to Venezuela’s resources. However, such an operation would not be without risk, as the Venezuelan military and militia fighters could potentially pose a serious threat to the Night Stalkers.
