The Venezuelan S-300 air defense missile was transferred to Captain Manuel Rios air base in the state of Guarico, a key base in the south of the country.
Israel-based International Satellite Image Organization (ISI) shared images of Venezuela's S-300 air defense missile deployment for Captain Manuel Rios air base in Guarico state, A key base in the south of the country, between intense boiling in the region.
ISI also reported that the Venezuelan Armed Forces have put the S-300 in a state of readiness after holding military drills in February. The deployment includes five missile launchers and radar guided Multi channel 9532ME (MMGR).
A few days before the move took place, media reported that 100 Russian soldiers had arrived in Venezuela on two planes, as well as transported 35 tons of goods and equipment.
US President Donald Trump urged Russian soldiers to "leave" Venezuela and stressed that he was considering all options to do this.
Russia has stressed that Moscow has not violated Venezuela's international agreements or domestic laws and its implementation was "within the normal framework of Russian relations with the legitimate Government".
Venezuela has been in a political crisis for more than two months, since opposition figure Juan Guaido announced himself to be the interim President despite the power of President Maduro.
The move was immediately recognized by the US and some regional allies, while Russia, China, Turkey and many other countries reaffirmed their support for leader Maduro.
Back in 2009, Russia agreed to lend Venezuela more than $ 2 billion to buy 92 tanks and the S-300 missile system could shoot down fighter jets and cruise missiles. Two battalions of S-300VM "Antey-2500" were delivered in May 2012.
