We are doing this with the help of different countries including China, Russia, Iran, and other allied countries," he added, apparently referring both to drone construction and to other projects including a munitions and weapons factory
At least that is what grateful owners joke as they line up with their pets to take advantage of the latest initiative by the socialist Venezuelan president's network of grassroots organizations: subsidized neutering. "If the opposition takes over, we lose all these services that Chavez has given us. We go back to zero," said Laura De Pernalete, helping organize the sterilization program in the poor Caracas neighborhood. "La Vega is 100 percent behind Chavez."
The plethora of "missions" bringing services to Venezuela's slums and impoverished rural areas - from subsidized food to Cuban-staffed health clinics - has underpinned the socialist Chavez's popularity among the poor during 13 years in power.
Piling money into more social projects in a pre-election spending spree, Chavez has an edge in polls ahead of the vote.

ALBA is no friend of America. And venezuala as the leader certainly is not. Also, Chavez is loved.

I like Chavez too. He is against American Imperialism and he is trying to help the poor.
Why shouldnt they have drones?

Iran took down the US's most sophisticated UAV without much trouble. It is not wise to underestimate Iranian capabilities.
What has any of this got to do with the OP? Chavez is loved La Vega is 100 percent behind Chavez Chavez helps the poor. Why shouldnt they have drones?
Chavez, in power since 1999, has been a vocal opponent of what he refers to as US “imperialism” in Latin America, and has boasted of close ties with American foes like Iran and Cuba.
i think its more than obvious what ever those two nations put up jointly in the air will never be a threat to anyone other than the civilians it flys over

The truth is, if it wasn't for Chavez and his strong attitude, Venezuela would be a client state of the US, having all the trappings such as an ineffective government, poverty, unfair "treaties" with the US, massive internal strife and a hardline dependency on outside resources and nations.
The Venezuelans are smart people, and know that whilst Hugo Chavez is not the ideal leader, he is the lesser of two evils so they back him.

Oh they probably have, but not that they will speak too much about. You are not fooling anyone with your description of the events. It's time to accept that the Iranians brought it down.

I wouldn't know, i'm not American,
He doesn't have a strong attitude, he has a rather annoying attitude, one that can be likened to a dictator or a gang leader rather than a leader on the world stage he a total joke, he is suppose to be a leader and conduct himself in the appropriate manner on the world stage, he just loves to talk about western nations being imperialist but his attitude as a leader is right out of that era in time, he would fit right in tbh,
This Idiot when speaking about his issues with the UK addresses the "Queen" & not the government, he's as crazier than a bag of frogs ive never seen such a bitter & twisted old fart in all my life

Pretty sure they would, they can't seem to shut up about the one that crashed there
When superior Iranian drones start crashing in the US and Obama starts jumping up and down on the spot like an excited child... THEN i'll start taking Iran & your wishful thinking seriously
Until then dream away

I disagree. If WW3 breaks out America will have some form of attack from South America. I do not know why the US Military is not more focused on the US borders. Instead they are overextended.
I think Chavez is loopy. He said capitalism may have ended life on mars But what he says about imperialism is correct. I feel American imperialism and I live in Australia. It is felt in South Korea. I cant imagine what it would be like to live in an emerging or third world country that has been exploited by the United States Imperialism.

If there was any form of attack from South America on the US in a WW3 scenario it would be pretty comical to watch, i'm sure the US could draft in the Women's national guard to throw abuse at them till they give up and went home,

Imperialism is long long gone my friend,
I think you are MASSIVELY confused, The US is not forcefully in South Korea, they're allied to South Korea and maintain a sort of "peacekeeping" presents there today to which they're very welcomed, neither is South Korea a 3rd world by any means, i suggest you go do some reading up on just why the US in in South Korea and how long they have been there,

I don't have to dream away.
Iran has 600,000 fulltime military personnel, with 1,800,000 reservists.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards have at least 120,000 men including a large special forces branch.
The Basij militia comprises of 3,000,000 combat ready militiamen.
Sure they may not be the most technological advanced force on earth (for now, at least) simply the numbers alone create a major headache for any enemy.
I take them very seriously, I advise you do the same.
