Four F-35B fighter jets, identified as MAZDA21, departed Marine Corps Air Station Yuma (KNYL) in the United States at approximately 2:17 PM UTC on September 13th, 2025, en route to Roosevelt Roads (NRR/TJRV) in Puerto Rico. The flight is supported by two KC-130J Super Hercules tankers; GOLD61, departing from MCAS Yuma (KNYL), and GOLD62, departing from Key Field (KMEI) in Mississippi. The military movement was reported by LatAmMilMVMTs on X (formerly Twitter) during the current reporting window. The specific purpose of the deployment to Roosevelt Roads was not immediately disclosed in the report. This activity occurs amidst ongoing political discourse from Venezuela, where opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado vowed on September 13th to aid Cuba and Nicaragua upon liberating Venezuela, denouncing their regimes as "criminals and narcoterroristas." This statement was also shared via X by UHN_Plus during the reporting period. Previously, on September 13th between 12:32 PM and 1:32 PM UTC, Venezuelan official Diosdado Cabello accused opponents Nicolás RodrĂguez and Delcy RodrĂguez of negotiating in Washington D.C. to betray President Nicolás Maduro, according to a post by Emma Rincon.
