Guyana’s government has granted permission for the U.S. military to conduct a demonstration over its capital involving two F/A-18F Super Hornet jets. This display of military cooperation highlights the strong relationship between the oil-exporting South American nation and the United States.
The exercise, which took place with only three hours' notice, caught many residents off guard. The flyover occurred amidst escalating tensions between Guyana and Venezuela over a disputed territory. President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela recently signed a law claiming the region, leading to heightened concerns.
