Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Aug. 3 the nation would acquire a missile-based anti-aircraft defense system to repel a possible foreign invasion at a time of continued tense relations with the United States.
The announcement came just days after Chavez agreed to buy some $3 billion in weapons and military equipment from Russia on a two-week world tour following U.S. moves to block Venezuelan military purchases.
