US B-1 Lancer bombers tracked off Venezuela coast amid second weekly show of force

Flight-tracking data showed at least one US B-1B Lancer flew over the Caribbean off Venezuela’s coast on Thursday, part of a Dyess AFB deployment the Pentagon says involved two supersonic heavy bombers — a manoeuvre President Trump has publicly denied despite the records.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

This continues an escalating US military presence in the region — the B-1 flights are the second show of force this week following hours‑long B-52 sorties, and accompany recent F-35 and special‑operations activity near Venezuela. See the reporting on the USAF B-52 show‑of‑force sorties off Venezuela, F-35 deployments to Puerto Rico and special‑operations helicopters operating within 90 miles of Venezuela.
Operational impact: tracked sorties and multiple bomber rotations (reports of one tracked B-1 and a Dyess‑based pair) signal sustained long‑range strike posture and high readiness of heavy bomber assets in the Caribbean; earlier reporting on B-1 low‑profile counter‑narcotics and bomber task‑force deployments provides context for persistent bomber use in the theater (see B-1 counter‑narcotics sorties and Bomber Task Force rotations.
