How US Growler jets jammed Venezuela’s radars during the operation that captured Nicolas Maduro Story by Statesman News Service, January 7, 2026 In Venezuela, the Growlers exploited weaknesses in an ageing air-defence network that relies largely on older Soviet- and Russian-made systems, including versions of the S-300 missile system, defence analysts cited in the report said. Some Chinese radar systems are also in use, but most are older models. Experts cautioned that such tactics would be harder against near-peer rivals such as China or Russia, which field more advanced and resilient defences. Still, the Venezuela operation highlighted how electronic warfare has regained importance after years of relative neglect. In Afghanistan and the Middle East, US forces faced limited air-defence threats. That reduced the need for large-scale jamming. The war in Ukraine changed that calculation. It is now widely viewed as the largest electronic-warfare conflict in history.
