The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the American special forces "Delta" was "so-so." This was stated by veterans of the Russian unit "Alpha," who assessed the U.S. operation in an interview with Daily Storm, the publication writes on Telegram. It is referenced by Western media. According to the special forces, the actions of the Americans met no resistance. Veteran of the "Alpha" group Igor Senin explained that the operation was prepared on a global scale. First, the U.S. fighters suppressed all major military facilities that could oppose them and incapacitated the infrastructure. "And only then was the main capture prepared, — said the interlocutor of the publication. — That is, they basically entered a building that had already been prepared for them. I don’t see any particular professionalism here." Moreover, the operatives believe that Russian special units are more professional. FSB Colonel and veteran of "Alpha" Vitaly Demidkin expressed a desire to meet his colleagues on the battlefield. "**We probably haven’t heard from them anywhere. I would like to meet them somewhere there. I mean, on the battlefield or some other operation**," he said. The veterans of "Alpha" also agreed that Russian special forces would allegedly have no trouble conducting a similar operation to capture the president of a neighboring country. All these statements were ridiculed on social media by the Russians themselves. "The U.S. has victory, and we have more chatter," "Enough telling tales about the white bull!", "Another noodle on the ears...", "Pride to the skies, and professionalism is seen in the results of a bloody war that has lasted almost four years now," "Is this a representative of the special forces that carried sugar to the basements of Russian residential buildings in 1999?", "It’s not about how well specific fighters performed, but rather about how well the operation itself was organized and what tasks it allowed to solve. From this point of view, the operation is unique," users noted.
