👉 The Venezuelan weapon, often referred to as the "Venezuela Missile" or "Venezuelan Ballistic Missile," is a short-range ballistic missile developed by Venezuela, primarily for military and strategic purposes. It is believed to be a derivative of the Russian S-300 missile system, adapted to Venezuela's needs and capabilities. The weapon is designed for both offensive and defensive roles, capable of delivering a variety of payloads, including conventional and potentially nuclear warheads. Its deployment has raised regional security concerns due to its potential to alter the balance of power in South America and its implications for Venezuela's relations with other nations, particularly Russia and China. The Venezuelan government maintains that the missile system is a defensive measure to protect its sovereignty and national security.
