  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. The exercises will last 10 days and will enlist the participation of 20,000 civilians, in addition to the troops, officials said.

  The manuevers come at a time of heightened tensions with the United States, which has clashed repeatedly with the leftist-led South American country over the years.
