Venezuela showed off its armed forces, including its Sukhoi Su-30 "Flanker" fighter jets, during military exercises in the Caribbean this week. The presence of these Su-30 jets, originally from Russia, could be seen as a not-so-subtle attempt to intimidate United States forces and by extension President Donald Trump. The United States and Venezuela have been at odds as the U.S. steps up military action against suspected drug cartels coming out of Venezuela. The country's show of force looks like a way to intimidate the United States in response. Altogether, Russia has a large fleet of Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets, but other countries fly them as well, including China, India, Myanmar, Algeria, and numerous others.
