美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示,美国本月使用了一种他称为“眩晕器”的武器来协助抓获前委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗,但一名美国高级官员称,他可能是将美军使用的多种工具混淆在了一起。

“‘眩晕器’,我不能谈论它,”特朗普在周六发表的接受《纽约邮报》采访时说道,但他补充称,在抓捕过程中,该武器“使敌方设备失效”。

一名美国高级官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网,总统可能将几种能力混淆为一种并不存在的单一武器。美军在此次行动中确实使用了网络工具来瘫痪委内瑞拉的早期预警和其他防御系统,还利用了现有的声学系统来使地面人员迷失方向。

美国军方多年来还拥有一种热射线武器,称为“主动拒止系统”(Active Denial System),它使用定向脉冲能量。目前尚不清楚这种武器是否也被使用了。

美国有线电视新闻网此前曾报道,根据美国军方的说法,主动拒止系统是一种非致命武器,它发射一束不可见的电磁波,射程略超过半英里。这种波穿透人体皮肤,产生灼热感,导致人们远离光束。

马杜罗被捕几天后,白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特转发了据称是一名委内瑞拉保安的评论,该保安声称美国在行动中“发射了某种东西”,“像是一种非常强烈的声波”。

“突然,我感觉我的头从内部炸开了,”该保安补充道,“我们所有人都开始流鼻血。有些人呕吐出血。我们倒在地上,动弹不得。”

美国有线电视新闻网尚未核实这一说法。

根据美国有线电视新闻网对1月3日行动的分析,美国任务以对该国多个目标的一系列打击开始,这些打击摧毁了雷达、通信和防空基础设施,为美军直升机开辟了道路。

据美国参谋长联席会议主席、空军上将丹·凯恩称,超过150架飞机——包括轰炸机、战斗机、情报和监视平台——从20个陆上海上基地起飞。

一名专家称,美国还可能在沿海城市伊格罗特(Higuerote)的打击中使用了单程攻击无人机,该城市是委内瑞拉防空系统的所在地。

美军进入蒂乌纳堡军事综合体时拍摄的视频显示持续的枪声,军事专家称这与美军攻击直升机MH-60“直接行动渗透者”(Direct Action Penetrator)发射30毫米机关炮的声音一致。

马杜罗在蒂乌纳堡被捕的具体地点,以及美军进入该基地时发生的细节,尚未完全披露。

President Donald Trump said the US used a weapon he referred to as a “discombobulator” to capture then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro this month, but a senior US official said he’s likely conflating tools used by the US military.

“The discombobulator, I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump told the New York Post in an interview that published Saturday but added that it “made [enemy] equipment not work” during the capture.

The president may be conflating several capabilities into a single weapon that doesn’t exist, a senior US official told CNN. US forces did use cyber tools to disable early warning and other Venezuelan defense systems during the operation, it also utilized existing acoustic systems to disorient personnel on the ground.

The US military also for years has had a heat ray weapon, called the Active Denial System, which uses directed, pulsed energy. It’s not clear whether that was used as well.

CNN has previously reported that the ADS, according to the US military, is a nonlethal weapon that shoots an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves that can reach a little more than half a mile away. It penetrates human skin and creates a heating sensation that causes people to move away from the beam.

A few days after Maduro’s capture, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reposted comments purportedly from a Venezuelan security guard who claimed the US “launched something” during the operation that “was like a very intense sound wave.”

“Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” the security guard added. “We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.”

That account hasn’t been verified by CNN.

According to CNN’s analysis of the January 3 operation, the US mission began with a series of strikes at targets across the country, which knocked out radar, communications and air defense infrastructure and cleared a path for US helicopters.

More than 150 aircraft – including bombers, fighters, intelligence and surveillance platforms – were launched from 20 bases on land and sea, according to Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

According to one expert, the US also likely used one-way attack drones for the strikes in the coastal city of Higuerote, which is the home to Venezuelan air defense systems.

Videos from when US forces landed inside the military complex of Fort Tiuna show sustained gunfire eruptions, the sound of which military experts say is consistent with Direct Action Penetrator MH-60 Black Hawks, a type of American attack helicopter, firing 30-millimeter autocannons.

The exact location within Fort Tiuna where Maduro was captured, and the details of what happened when US forces landed inside it, have not been fully revealed.
