2. Those look like Pechora-2M

air defense missiles. Not the kind of thing you fire at protesters.

5. Yup! Pechora-2M or SA-3 GOAs (Nato designation)

I wonder why the golpistas have their hair on fire over these?

3. SA-3 GOA missiles.

Do you think they are going to use these on the rioting golpistas?

4. What you call the rioting golpistas

are students.

6. I love that have your hair on fire over these missiles.

These are not for use on rioting golpistas on the ground.

7. Probably a repositioning to a loyal unit

I suspect they may be moving missiles from a location where potentially disloyal units were to a place where the Cubans have tight control.

Those missiles are fairly worthless. Obsolete against USA weapons and useless against unarmed protesters.

8. Doubt that!

Perhaps being positioned around Caracas because they suspect some foolishness from the golpistas using commercial aircraft.

9. And that is why I asked.

Lot of people worry about them. So, I decided to ask here.

10. A lot of folks want want to post "scary" Venezuela pics......

...... as part of their agenda against the socialist state.

I figured this was your intent...... since you posted the pic directly from a sosvenezuela RW propaganda source.
