Socialism has crippled Venezuela to the point where they are getting shipments of food from Iran

AP/Fuel Fix:
Iranian officials said one of their cargo ships was expected to dock in Venezuela on Sunday with food to launch the first Iranian supermarket in the South American nation.

The Golsan's delivery marks “another success in friendly and fraternal relations between two countries,” officials at the Iranian Embassy in Caracas announced in a tweet a day earlier.

Both Iran and Venezuela are foes of President Donald Trump and heavily sanctioned by the the United States and their ties have increased recently.

The food follows Iran's recent flotilla of five tanker ships filled with gasoline sent to relieve Venezuela's deep fuel shortages, the result of broken-down refineries and U.S. sanctions. Iran also provided Venezuela with key ingredients needed to restart refineries and resume producing its own gasoline.

Experts say that in addition to food, the most recent shipment could also be carrying equipment to help repair Venezuela's collapsed refineries.
...
If Maduro really cared about the people of Venezuela he would stepdown and give the people a chance to select someone who is not a socialist. Getting supplies from a state sponsor of terrorism is no way to bring them out of the depression socialism has imposed on the people.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
