A Brazilian-made EE-11 Urutu armoured personnel carrier (APC) remains idle in a military base in Caracas on March 14, 2015. Venezuela begins a week and a half of military exercises on Saturday, amid rising tensions with the United States over sanctions imposed on officials accused of an opposition crackdown. About 80,000 troops were due to take part in the massive display of weaponry, as Caracas shows off its Chinese amphibian weapons, Russian-built missiles and other military hardware.
