At about 5:41 p.m. local time on August 4th, the president of Venezuela, Maduro, was conducting an open television speech. Suddenly, a few unmanned aerial vehicles with explosives exploded near the platform.
當地時間8月4日下午5時41分左右,委內瑞拉總統馬杜羅正在進行公開電視演講,突然間,有幾架裝有炸藥的無人機在演講台附近發生了爆炸。
The assassination of the president of Venezuela was not a general weapon, a drone with a kilogram of heavy explosives, an unmanned aerial vehicle that tried to attack Maduro at the parade. At a critical moment, snipers lurking near the square immediately took decisive steps to shoot down the drones before they reached the target area. The Venezuelan president's bodyguards soon unveiled a defensive weapon, the "shield" (black bullet-proof board), to wrap the president in an attempt to protect him.
這次刺殺委內瑞拉總統的還不是一般的武器,是攜帶了一公斤重炸藥的無人機,這架無人機試圖在閱兵現場對馬杜羅發起襲擊!關鍵時刻,在廣場附近潛伏的狙擊手們立刻採取果斷措施,在無人機到達目標區域之前擊落了它們。而委內瑞拉總統的保鏢們也是第一時間亮出防禦神器——「盾」(黑色防彈板)將總統包住,試圖保護總統。
Due to the inaccuracy of the small UAV and the prompt response of the security personnel, the bomb carried by the UAV exploded without injuring Maduro himself. Allegedly, when Maduro was assassinated, 3 UAVs exploded. The first was in front of the rostrum, the second was in the area of officers and family members on the right side of the rostrum, and the third UAV exploded near a building south of the rostrum. The explosion caused at least 7 National Guard soldiers to be injured, and thousands of parade soldiers fled.
由於這種小型無人機精准度不夠,加上安保人員反應及時,無人機攜帶的炸彈發生爆炸時未傷及馬杜羅本人。據稱,馬杜羅被刺殺之時有3個無人機發生爆炸。第1個位於主席台正前方,第2個位於主席台右側的軍官和家屬區域,第3個無人機在看台以南的建築附近爆炸。爆炸造成至少7名國民警衛隊士兵受傷,數千名列隊的士兵四處逃散。
Although the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, it also created a precedent for "Assassination" by a civilian UAV on a head of state.
雖然這次刺殺行動未遂,但是也創造了民用無人機對一國元首進行「刺殺」的先例。
After the incident, media analysis said that the weapon used to assassinate the Venezuelan president may be a civil Rotor UAV carrying C-4 explosives. Such small civilian UAVs can be bought in the market. The UAV itself is harmless, but the UAV carries dynamite.
事件發生後,有媒體分析稱刺殺委內瑞拉總統所用的武器,可能是攜帶C-4炸藥的民用旋翼無人機。這樣的小型民用無人機,在市場上就能買到。無人機本身沒有危害,但是無人機攜帶炸藥就可怕了。
The UAV carried a bomb to assassinate Venezuelan President, which has also brought vigilance to all countries. We have now entered the era of UAVs, and the security of the UAV is likely to be more dangerous than the large aircraft that has been driven, so it also hopes to attract attention, be vigilant, and prevent attacks from UAVs.
這次無人機攜帶炸彈刺殺委內瑞拉總統這事,也給各國帶來了警醒。我們現在已經進入到無人機的時代,以後這個無人機的安全可能比有人駕駛的大飛機還危險,所以這方面也希望引起大家重視,提高警惕,防範無人機的襲擊。
