The Soviets had problems over and over with the Venera landers. The first one they thought landed actually was crushed before landing as it was not built for the pressure of Venus. The longest lander actually functioned for about two hours after landing. These probes were taking photos while quickly being destroyed by the heat and pressure. I can’t imagine there could be any life other than subterranean microbial life there.
Somehow, I just have a feeling you’ll want to see this topic.
