Controversial U.S. Radar In Tobago Disappears Overnight
The controversial United States radar which has been seen spinning for months at the ANR Robinson International Airport in Crown Point, Tobago, is no longer visible.
Reports indicate that the U.S.-supplied military-grade ground/air task-oriented radar has been dismantled overnight and will be transported out of the country via cargo plane soon. A U.S. military aircraft is expected to arrive on the island to transport the US $3 million per day equipment.
Guardian Media visited a vantage point this morning (Monday 16th March, 2026) where the towering radar could have previously been seen rotating 360 degrees, but the equipment was absent.
The controversial U.S. radar is now down.

Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA), Farley Augustine, said on Wednesday (11th March, 2026) that U.S. troops on the island will be leaving Tobago “in a couple days,” and it appears the radar will be leaving with them.
The radar arrived in Tobago in November last year to help tackle drug trafficking, particularly out of Venezuela, according to Prime Minister the Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar, SC, MP.
U.S. forces physically removed former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during a well-coordinated military operation in Caracas on 3rd January, 2026, after he was deemed the head of a drug cartel by the U.S.
Maduro is currently in the U.S. on trial for drug trafficking.
More on this as it becomes available.
