Armed Drones, AC-130 Gunships in Venezuelan Coup Attempt

US security contractor Silvercorp, had planned to deploy AC-130 gunships, Armed Predator drones and air-to-ground Maverick missile assets to plan and execute "an operation to capture/detain/remove 'Primary Objective' [Venezuelan President Maduro]", and facilitate Opposition leader Juan Guaido's government-in- waiting to take power.

According to details of a leaked contract between Silvercorp, led by a former decorated US soldier and Venezuelan opposition groups, the firm "may also authorize employment of AC-130 gunship, Armed Predator (drones) and Maverick (air-to-ground) Missile assets" – ie deploy drones and conduct missile strikes – and "employ any available assets to engage no or low collateral damage fleeting targets".

It looks like an interesting scenario.

Interesting.

Many AC-130 gunships in private ownership in the US? Yes, I know, I'm being facetious.

I can understand that Maduro being dragged from the t rough wouldn't upset a lot of people, and by that I mean nation states, and some might tacitly accept a 'private' operation to achieve that. And might even go as far as tipping those planning such an endeavour the wink that should all go to plan there might be tangible support available. But for something like that to get written into a freaking private contract, what the ? Either Silvercorp is home to a raging fantasist or whoever is their handler/ contact in the intelligence community needs to be given the 'Icelandic counter-espionage' desk till they retire.
