Beriev A-100 vs A-50

In the foreground is the A-100, a true Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft, a plane capable of not only detecting threads, but also guiding both air and ground assets to track, intercept and destroy it via data links and a complex encrypted communications suite, while in the background the A-50 is the last example of the less capable Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft, effectively just a flying radar which can only relay what it sees to either a ground station that will handle all the aforementioned capabilities, or more dynamically, to a Ilyushin Il-22 command and control aircraft, which is the usual Russian doctrine.

Same concept, different model: Kfir C10 vs CE vs Cheetah C.

Kfir C10: Multirole upgrade of the Kfir jet for the Colombian Air Force, featuring an AESA radar, iDerby radar-guided missiles, an electronic warfare suite and a plethora of air-to-ground weapons.

Kfir CE: Multirole upgrade of the Kfir for the Ecuadorian Air Force, a less capable upgrade without the BVR capabilities, EW suit, less access to air-to-air weapons, but almost equal air-to-ground capabilities.

Atlas Cheetah C: Multirole variant of the South African Cheetah interceptor, in itself an upgraded copy of the Mirage V, featuring a BVR-capable radar, integrated EW suite, a almost the same air-to-ground capabilities of the Kfir, albeit more limited as all the tech is older than in both South American jets.

Pentagon turns earthquake into occupation of Venezuela

The U.S. Air Force now runs Venezuela’s main international airport. A U.S. amphibious warship is docked at its principal port. MQ-9 Reaper drones and combat helicopters fly reconnaissance over Caracas. Nearly 2,000 U.S. troops are deployed on land, air and sea in and around the country, operating out of two colonies: U.S.-held Puerto Rico and Dutch-held Curaçao.

Washington calls this earthquake relief.

And this is why relief efforts are somewhat working, otherwise we would have more deaths while the current clean up efforts in La Guaria would not have started yet, especially since thanks to the Mayor of Panama, who put trackers in a shipping of aid send from his city, we discovered that the current Delcy Rodriguez interim government is diverting the aid into rich government-connected neighborhoods in central Venezuela.
