US EditionTrump Claims Secret 'Discombobulator' Weapon Disabled Defenses in Venezuela Raid
The U.S. used a classified sonic energy weapon called the Discombobulator to disable Venezuelan defenses and prevent missile launches during a raid that captured Maduro without casualties.
- President Donald Trump said in a Saturday interview that U.S. forces used a classified system called the `Discombobulator` during the Jan. 3 Caracas raid that captured Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores.
- The operation aimed to disable Venezuelan air defenses so rockets could not launch, following months of escalating tensions linked to alleged drug trafficking, with elite Delta Force extracting Maduro earlier this month.
- An unnamed Venezuelan security official described how all radar systems shut down without explanation and people began bleeding from the nose after an intense sound wave caused disorientation.
- Maduro is now in federal custody in Brooklyn awaiting trial on narcoterrorism-related charges, while Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as interim president shortly after, and President Donald Trump said the U.S. would temporarily `run` the country.
- Republicans in Congress narrowly blocked a War Powers Resolution to stop the raid, details remain scarce with Trump calling the technology a `secret sonic weapon` amid media queries, and the Pentagon was asked for comment Saturday.
