I’ve been telling yall for almost a decade we are unmatched.
Most people read about, I’ve lived on bases with the actual soldiers.
No one compares to us. No one trains like us. No one is built like us. We are different.

I’m not sure what he’s talking about, they guy in my sons unit who was shot in the thigh and still flew his bird onto the X and back would disagree that they didn’t get any shots off.

What Kind of Weapon Could Possibly Cause a Firearm to be Inoperable?
Nothing. They’re purely mechanical.

This is probably more true than not. The only way to keep something in the black is to limit the number of people who are read in, and as things get mature enough to look at fielding them that number just gets too big.
This all sounds 100% like Trump speaking off the cuff. IF we had a secret squirrel weapon we've been holding back I sure as shite hope we didn't burn it to snatch Maduro.

I’m not sure, but I think you are wrong. By using different frequencies they might be able to affect metal but not human flesh.
The easiest link in the chain between the trigger and the firing pin to break is one of the small springs in the trigger group. That spring is located inside an RF shielded box (lower receiver - stamped steel for AK and cast or machined aluminum for AR). The air around the spring acts as a heat sink, removing energy from the spring and the lower receiver reduces the energy getting to the spring. You need a shite ton of energy to heat the spring to anneal it. Some frequencies are more efficient at heating springs. Some frequencies are more efficient at turning people into slag. With the difference in the amount of energy required to anneal the spring vs. turn the person holding the spring into slag, it's going to be slag first, every time. Frequency matters, but not in this scenario.
There is another way. The spring is the weakest link between the trigger and the firing pin, but that isn't the full path required to fire the weapon. The real chain is brain to firing pin. Most likely, whatever was used broke the chain further up, and the confusion and bleeding from the ears were a side effect of making sure 100% of the people in the area could not pull a trigger, unless they were protected.

According to Grok it could be done with short bursts with a narrowly focused beam tuned the the metal primarily. Not very likely, granted, but possible. The active denial systems that have been in use for like 20 years now only penetrate human skin to a depth of 4mm. Hurts like hell, but no lasting harm done to the human body.
In any event though, it sounds like they busted out some pretty bad arse tech for that raid.

I don't think he said what you think he said. We have non-lethal energy weapons that can essentially neutralize a threat by incapacitating the person. They couldn't fire their weapons not because their weapon didn't work but because they couldn't physically use them.
Thank you. Sound Waves that scramble your brain give you immediate Vertigo confusion dizziness Instant migraine tend to stop someone from being able to pick up a gun much less shoot one.

This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.
Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react.
Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?
Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before.
Interviewer: And then the battle began?
Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything.
Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn't they help?
Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.
Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?
Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.
Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?
Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with.
Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America?
Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region.

More important question:
Why is Trump talking about this at all? You don’t show your cards in an attempt to impress your cult base.
Pride comes before the fall…

For the same reason we would leave 1 Indian alive. Now the enemy (just like you) are worried about what advanced tech our military might have?
A diversion to our enemies that doesn’t really cost anything.

Now that part isn't really rocket science.

According to Grok
Grok cannot get engineering right per the owners of two chemical companies. One owns a chemical engineering technology company tells me 90% wrong answers. The other owns chemical company with 75% of a niche global market told me that young engineers are crap because all they know is AI and Google and cannot engineer anything.

The supposed eyewitness also said that the soldiers hit every single target, not a single missed shot.
Venezuela did get missiles off but without radar that is just shooting blindly. They may as well have been firing into the air on New Year's Eve.
The problem with the story is there are plenty of holes in it.
Maybe we had "Six Million Dollar Man" on the scene

Yeah, I mean, assuming this wasn’t just a turn a phrase, the only thing I could possibly imagine doing that would be some focused EM waves doing some scientist shite I’m sure only a handful of people walked in a bunker know how it works.
To be fair, and again, if true, the fact that it sounds impossible is kind of the whole point behind super top, secret military tech I’d imagine
