Chairman Kane of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff revealed on the 3rd the entire process of the US military abducting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and taking them out of Venezuela, saying that US President Trump issued a raid order at 22:46 EST on the 2nd. The operation involved more than 150 planes. Maduro and his wife were taken to a US military warship at 3:29 EST on the 3rd. Kane said at a press conference held at Sea-Lake Estate in Florida that the operation, codenamed “Absolute Determination,” was secret and precise. After months of “hard work” by the intelligence team, the US side locked down Maduro's whereabouts and obtained information on how he moved, where he lived, travel routes, eating habits, dress preferences, and pets he kept. “We are watching, we are waiting, we are preparing, we are patient and professional.” Kane said that at the beginning of December last year, the US military raid forces were on standby, waiting for a series of conditions to be met at the same time, including ensuring the suddenness of the attack to the greatest extent possible, and at the same time minimizing physical harm to the indictees in order to “bring them back to trial.” On the evening of the 2nd, the weather cleared up, and the time finally arrived. President Trump issued an order at 22:46 EST on the 2nd. More than 150 aircraft took off from 20 US military bases at sea and on land in the Western Hemisphere, including bombers, fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, rotors, etc. The helicopter carrying out the mission to catch Maduro flew at an altitude of about 100 feet against the surface of the sea during the flight.
