""The discombobulator. I'm not allowed to talk about it," Trump said in an interview with the New York Post. He said the weapon made enemy equipment "not work." "They never got their rockets off," Trump said, according to the Post. "They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us.""
""It was dark, the lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have, it was dark, and it was deadly," Trump said after the operation. US forces captured Maduro and his wife, Celia, in an early-morning raid on Jan. 3 and sent him to the US to face criminal charges. It was an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's months-long campaign against the country."
US military forces used a weapon referred to as the discombobulator during an operation in Caracas. The weapon reportedly rendered enemy equipment inoperable, preventing Russian and Chinese rockets from launching. Lights across Caracas were largely turned off through a technical capability, contributing to a dark and deadly raid. The operation, called Operation Absolute Resolve, captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Celia, in an early-morning raid on Jan. 3 and transferred Maduro to the US to face criminal narco-terrorism charges. The White House did not immediately provide additional information about the weapon.
