not yet IMO

we know from the 2018 situation that a lot of the enlisted troops are anti regime; back then the anti regime people were able to get a few generals to defect but didn't get much farther than that

In the months before now, Maduro promoted many officers hoping to get loyalty. I saw one estimate that there are now about 1 General or Admiral and 30 other officers for every 60 enlisted soldiers.

Every situation has potential moments that can change the balance.

Also some estimate that Iran and Cuba have a few hundred soldiers on site to keep the Venezuelan military in line but this is just a rumor.
