It's a 777 200 series and the payload of gold would be around 40,000lbs~.

Nordwind 777 #N49801


If you have Flightradar24, track #N49801 or track any 777 leaving Simon Bolivar Airport

Venezuelan Army Defectors Coordinate Over WhatsApp; Ask Trump For "Freedom" Weapons

There are rumbling of discontent among the Venezuelan military. There might well be a mutiny in the works.

So? That doesn't mean he will bring the gold in Venezuela into another country that coul also deny access sooner or later.

It's in Russia's best interest to play nice with Venezuela (as well as with their increasing number of strategic allies).

Russia is in the process of rebuilding their sphere of influence, which really started happening in the early 2000's.

Slowly, but surely, they've been extending beyond their region to be able and reach out anywhere in the globe. Venezuela will be one of their partners that offers some of the greatest longevity assuming their isn't a sudden regime shift.

It's possible Venezuela could end up in the BRICS group.

You could have said likely and I would have still agreed.

Got a Fighter Jet I can borrow I seem to know where a lot of gold will be ...

In true socialist form, he robs the country's treasure and flees like the coward he & his kind are. They stand opposed to every tenet of humanity and represent everything evil and unjust in the World. Socialists/communists truly represent the 21st century Axis of Evil, and have even managed to pull off the impossible by infiltrating our government/elected reps.

Why haven't the people of Venezuela (or US backed assets) hanged Maduro yet? Much like Mussolini, Qaddafi, Saddam and others... the only good dictator (especially a scum socialist dictator) is a dead one.

The legitimate government of Venezuela should take measures to put Maduro down like the sick dog he is.

a reply to: Gargoyle91

Yes, but you got to promise to have it back before its bed time. The jet is a delicate little snowflake... needs its rest

Heck, wouldn't be any different. Maduro is stealing the People's gold in direct opposition to the commands of the legitimate Government of Venezuela . At least this way it'd go to a good cause (ie: anything other than supporting a scumbag socialist murderer criminal thief)

Still there...
Taking a bit to load all that gold.
Dropping a date and time.

Aaaaaaannnd back to napping. Sorry😊

Yeah, right. And socialism works right?

Ask the Japanese, the Germans and the South Koreans just to name a few of the many countries that have adopted a similar system as the U.S. if they like living in a rich and prosperous nation.

All of the richest and most prosperous coumtries in the world have a similar system as the U.S.

I would be for getting rid of that asshole Maduro if it was the will of the Venezuelan people. Why not?

I just despise the murderous and corrupt ways of US imperialism

Be more specific. What exactly do you find corrupt and murderous about the U.S.?

I see, so you would rather the U.S. sit idol and not spread it's brand of freedom and democracy. So instead just sit back and let China spread theirs right? Sit back idol and let Russia be the one to do it right? Because if we didn't show our dominance and put a stop to communism then this world would be a lot worse off than what is it now brother and that's the god damn truth.

Like I said, you hate the way we spread our brand, so perhaps we should stop feeding the millions that rely on our rice and grain that we feed DAILY for FREE. Stop giving away cash to those poor countries that we give billions and billions of aid to. Stop sending out thousands of missionaries including doctors, nurses, construction experts etc. to help the poorest and most devastated people of this world. Stop protecting civilian cargo and merchant ships and vessels from being murdered and pirated. Stop being the first and in many cases the only ones to come to the rescue when there is a major disaster somewhere around the globe. Stop handing out 12 MILLION+ work visas annually. Stop liberating people from oppressive tyrannical regimes.

You don't like it? Well you aren't the only one. We got a lot of haters. You just sit back, sip your Koolaid and let the big boys handle the grownup business.

In a way, it's a symbiotic relationship.

The prosperous countries have inflated levels of purchasing power because they outsource many good's labor and production to countries where the workforce is borderline slaves.

This in turn keeps the power held for the puppet governments.

We don't make their laws. Perhaps you should point that out to those poor "slaves". Tell them to vote on and pass a minimum wage, demand workers rights, implement a welfare system as a safety net for when they might need help, weed out corruption in their government etc etc.

If they don't like doing business with us then they can take their business elsewhere.

Moving stuff like this in case the US-backed coup is successful, it'll be the first thing plundered.

Good luck Venezuela.

Is that what the U.S. does, plunder? Tell me, which countries have the United States plundered and of what?

Nordwind 777 changed it's tail number from N49801. It left Caracas with a new number of N49802. It landed back in Moscow Vnukovo international airport.
If anyone way curious.
