They said it was a kinetic strike. So what kind of weapon is used for that? It seemed like the water all around the boat was boiling in patches instantaneously when it got hit.
Not necessarily, frag is steel or sometimes tungsten for some missiles moving more than 3000 feet per second. its not gonna be stopped by a boat hull. If it was airburst it would likely have a bigger denser pattern
Wouldn't it be better if Trump had the Navy wait until these narco boats move one nautical foot into USA waters? Blowing up or seizing ships and boats in international waters is what Israel and Yemen do.
I believe we’re at war with the narco cartel in Venezuela. We’re also at war with the government there that stole elections to get and keep Maduro in power.
A "kinetic strike" is a direct, destructive physical attack using high-speed projectiles and conventional weapons like missiles, bombs, or rounds, as opposed to non-kinetic actions such as cyberattacks or sanctions. The term implies precision and a controlled application of force, distinguishing it from broader military operations and highlighting its tangible, immediate destructive effect. Examples include a drone firing a guided missile or a warship launching a surface-to-surface weapon against a specific target.
Our pronouns are "STOP" "TRAFFICKING".
It’ll never, ever, ever get old…
Send it…again and again!
Tax dollars well spent.
Damn, some fish gonna be trippin balls in that area
Fishfood. Courtesy hellfire missile.

Whatever it was, 4 Terrorists are no more. And yes, it does look like the water is boiling.
Thats just fragmentation
So the bomb or whatever it was, exploded overhead first before the initial hit? Because it all happened at the same time.

what waste of a nice boat! they should capture it... execute the drug runners and sell the boat to save the taxpayers some money.
extremely effective "MESSAGING"!!!
Yep
Look at it as a live-fire exercise. Good practice for the boys with zero chance of any return fire.
Yes I can agree with your statement. I think this is a warning, though. You hit the high sea,s we are going to hit you.
Light em up!!,
Do narcos not see all these boats blowing up and think… “you know what, I’m not gonna get on the boat “
There are some BOOM posts coming in a few days.😁
Save taxpayer’s money with one bomb
Hey Jose, I’m going to test drive a boat I’m thinking about buying you want to come along
Seems like a pretty solid way to stop or slow down the invasion of drugs. Worst case previously was maybe jail time...
