fnox posted:Like what the gently caress is going through their collective heads right now? Chavez was a populist who built the PSUV, and everything else in Venezuela, around himself. He had a cult of personality, and all that mattered in politics was being part of it. All politicking was internal to the party. If Chavez said you were to elected, that was all you needed. Any ability to politic outside the party, or even govern effectively, was unnecessary. If the PSUV follow the normal trend of such parties ability was actively punished. Now a bunch of guys who spent their careers on internal politics are getting gooned by a bunch of opposition politicians who actually know how to do things like campaign.

NPR was reporting this morning that government sources say the drones were stopped by jammers, which would seem to explain things pretty well.

Furia posted:That’s... surprisingly reasonable, if unconfirmed (also why would the drone just blow up and not crash like the other one did?). If your drone and your bomb are on two different remotes what jams one may not jam the other. if you lose control of your drone detonating the bomb and hoping for a golden bullet makes some kind of sense.

Party Plane Jones posted:I'm a bit surprised they didn't go the same route that Houthi's did/are doing in Yemen: The Patriot batteries in SA can move but effectively hadn't in 20 something years so they just programmed the GPS coordinates into drones and set them on collision courses filled with explosives.

Furia posted:Right, but I mean there were two drones: one crashed and the other one exploded. I don't find it at all convoluted that a mobile jammer could have interfered with control of consumer grade drones, but not interfered with whatever triggering system was controlling the bombs. It was also my impression that both bombs detonated, but only one was close to the crowd.
