Скачать или смотреть Venezuela Fires a Torpedo at a US Aircraft Carrier — What HAPPENS Next Shocks the Pentagon

At 04:17 hours, more than three hundred miles off the coast of Venezuela, a decades-old submarine made a decision it could not undo. Believing itself unseen, it launched a heavyweight torpedo toward the USS Gerald R. Ford—one of the most powerful warships ever built. What the crew did not know was that their submarine had been tracked in silence for nearly a week.

This video reconstructs the little-known confrontation between Venezuela’s last operational submarine and a fully deployed U.S. carrier strike group in the Caribbean Sea. It reveals how Cold War–era technology collided with modern undersea surveillance, and why this encounter was decided long before any weapon entered the water.

You’ll see why 1970s torpedo systems are no match for today’s acoustic detection networks, how a single active sonar ping can end a battle without firing a shot, and why restraint can sometimes send a stronger message than destruction. What looks like a simple standoff becomes a precise demonstration of how modern naval power actually works.

The analysis explores submarine capabilities and limitations, carrier strike group defense layers, and the generational gap between legacy torpedoes and modern Mk-48 systems. It also breaks down the cost imbalance of the encounter—millions spent on one side, mere dollars on the other—and explains why the U.S. Navy chose deterrence over annihilation.

Covered systems and concepts include undersea surveillance networks, advanced sonar suites, maritime patrol aircraft, destroyer-based detection, fiber-optic torpedo guidance, and passive acoustic tracking. Together, they form a picture of a battlespace where information matters more than firepower.

This incident shows how submarine warfare has evolved from explosive attacks into silent, data-driven confrontations. The crew believed they were hunters moving through darkness. In reality, they had been visible from the moment they left port.
