Russian-made air defenses in Venezuela didn't shoot down a single US aircraft during the Maduro raid. Here's what that means.

The complex assault operation involved over 150 military aircraft. Some conducted strikes. Others waged electronic warfare and engaged in intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance.

President Donald Trump revealed that an aircraft was hit without specifying by what, but the aircraft remained operational.
