Les BUK étaient entretenus par des Biélorusses (probablement en partie dû aux châssis MZKT)

The account, which cannot be verified, describes an attack which the interviewee struggles to put into words:

Guard: At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. 

Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist? 

Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us…. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.

This might all seem like a far-fetched excuse for why Maduro’s guards failed to protect him, taking heavy casualties while a small force abducted the man they were supposed to defend with their lives. In fact, the U.S. has spent decades researching weapons to produce the type of effects described.
