A photograph of Alfredo Tanzella Rangel, one of the two Venezuelan pilots of F-16s who provocatively flew over the U.S. destroyer in international waters of the Caribbean, was sent to the editorial team of Venezuela Política.
Tanzella Rangel graduated on July 5, 1994, holds the Identity Card number V-10.710.635, and resides in Urbanization Los Sauzales, path 6, house number 10, Mérida, Merida State.
This officer acted in defense of Nicolás Maduro and the Cartel of the Suns alongside Cruz Alfredo Esteves Silva, during their provocative action against the U.S. fleet sent by the Donald Trump administration to confront the narco-terrorism threatening U.S. national security.
Both pilots flew their F-16s over the USS Jason Dunham in international waters, and the Department of Defense warned that any further obstruction attempts will be met with firm responses. “The cartel that leads Venezuela is warned in a clear manner not to attempt new efforts to obstruct, deter, or interfere with U.S. military operations.”
Additionally, President Trump authorized the shooting down of any Venezuelan aircraft that threatens U.S. vessels in the area.
Both Tanzella Rangel, Esteves Silva, and any other Venezuelan military personnel sent by the Maduro regime for similar actions, were invited by U.S. Treasury Undersecretary for Terrorism Financing, Marshall S. Billingslea, to fly their aircraft to Puerto Rico and defect from the Bolivarian Armed Forces.
