After forcibly controlling Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, the US side claimed that stealth drones participated in the operation and carried out tasks such as reconnaissance and surveillance. According to the US “War Zone” website, when the Maduro couple's home was attacked, the US military dispatched at least one RQ-170 stealth drone to provide intelligence support for special forces operations. The “New York Times” also believes that the reason why US President Trump and his staff can watch the progress of the operation in real time is also due to the RQ-170 video signal broadcast. But this type of drone is not infallible. In 2011, Iran successfully forced the landing of an RQ-170, which had broken into airspace, using electronic warfare, and replicated it in reverse.
