There are 11 Russian nuclear subs. They don't go anywhere without being shadowed by one of the US' over 100 nuclear subs. Russia floated the sub on the surface into the Cuban port because they're worried that the US would take it as a sneak-attack of some kind and turn it into another artificial reef. They also brought an oceangoing tugboat with them in case more than one of their ships breaks down. If one ship becomes dead in the water, they can drag it in a conga line behind the others. If more than 1 breaks down, they need the tugboat for the second or third ships. Lol. Just lol
Russian ships are NOT on a suicide mission.
SO , YOU WANT TO POKE THE EAGLE ??😮😮 ?!!!!
"Cuba argues *nothing to worry about , you just go back to sleep America (or Biden coma whatever that is)
And Furthermore the U.S. has its own naval base in Cuba .🇨🇺 Also, Cuban citizens like the US better these days since many live in Florida and are good citizens .
My guess is that the un
suspecting oil tanker is hiding a super weapon ready to launch and far worse than the one they admit to having
So THEN China brings its Navy because Mitch has already been paid
Usa has most stupid officials ever…
Russia watched the u.s. leave Afghanistan. Anyone else saw it too. For the u.s. to bring fear anymore is like a big balloon protecting a shed against birds until the dirt covers the balloon
Isn't the best war tactic the element of surprise? Why show off your new gear to your enemies? That's like playing poker with your cards backwards.
Only 4 units. For the US this is nothing. How many units can the U.S. deploy there within days
We are weak. It's sad.
Russian subs show up with missing slabs of Titanium at a Cuban port whats that all about?
I tell what I would do I would get on the Internet and tell the enemy everything. That is smart
Might lead to aggression..What a joke
US foreign policy has created this hostile environment with Russia. Wake up US your government is rotten
Guys really a Poseidon to track a submarine !!! I understand that because opsec we don't discuss our countermeasures but not only caesars blue print and locations were leaked in the net some time ago but everyone knows that the new system to track 100% yes 100% every submarine actually airplane and even vehicles worldwide by the magnetic disturbance it creates and throughout the vibration signature this system have been in places since 2002 and now is in 36 proprietary DOD satellites as well as 60 leased to start Link lower tech system child of DARPA and NSA so please don't smoke screen the populace 😂😊😅
Those ships wldve been sunk long before reaching Cuba or the US if they were a threat .
This nothing new. Because of we played the same game with them . Even out at sea .
Russias Navy being obliterated?? Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Americans can support Ukraine untill kindom come but what we know is the American civilians are getting poorer day by day the government is busy pumping money out neglecting its citizens and the debt has increased to 40 trillion keep printing money 😂😂 we just laughe grab a cup of coffee and watch the drama unfold Americans have been relaxed far too long now they can say hie to inflation Saudi petrol dollars
Has ended 😂😂
I heard Sierra Leone is sending a paddle boat to Cuba. They are all going to pile on now !
If you think the u.s. didn't know that they were on their way before the left I think you give Russia too much credit
The fleet oil tanker might have an invasion force full of highly elite soldiers and knowing Russia they might have dirty bombs with them if no one considers the weakest of ships a threat it would be folly.
The state of Texas had a bigger economy than Russia prior to the sanctions imposed on them, imagine what it is now. Russia is not the major threat it is sometimes portrayed to be. God bless America.
Play stupid games, and they will win stupid prizes.
The words russian and navy together always makes me laugh
And if we take into consideration on how incompetent thier military is then it would be safe to say thier navy is just as incompetent and worse.
"Kanzan submarine, the quiestest in the entire fleet"
Sonar operator to submarine commander: Sir im picking what sounds like nails in a blender
That's okay it's the national water
That's okay it's in international waters big deal
There gone now but good point Cuba is now an enemy as is venuzula
Russia is weaknare making a mistake by loosing everything on ukrain
Russia can’t even take out Ukraine.🤡 Keep flexing, I know that you won’t flex on Trump. 🇺🇸 🦅
Trust me. Russia doesn’t want any U.S. smoke 💨
Russia is at its weakest state. Ask Ukraine.
US navy can take on the entire worlds navy at one time and dominate
Everybody laughing Russian flotilla till they realise their Navy AEGIS systems cant defend the ships from the Zircon & Kalibr 😂😂😂
Putin you're not very smart are you
All they sent was a glorified frigate, a sub and a tugboat? Is this what they got left?

You trust CNN?

Pentagon downplays Russian warships arriving in Cuba
U.S. Navy ships shadowed the Russian ships as they headed to Havana.

Fleet of Russian warships reaches Cuban waters
Two U.S. officials confirmed that three U.S. Navy destroyers, a Coast Guard cutter, and Navy .
The Pentagon is downplaying Wednesday's arrival of four Russian Navy ships in Cuba as U.S. officials acknowledge that U.S. Navy ships "actively monitored" the Russian ships as they made their way to a port of call in Havana.
On Thursday the U.S. military announced that a U.S. submarine had arrived at the U.S. Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in an apparent show of U.S. force in the Caribbean region.
At Wednesday's Pentagon press briefing, spokesperson Sabrina Singh downplayed the Russian naval flotilla's arrival in Havana noting that it's happened multiple times over the years but acknowledged that U.S. military assets had been tracking the ships on their way to Cuba.
"We've been tracking the Russians plans for this," Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon's deputy press secretary told reporters Wednesday.
Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov enters Havana's bay, Cuba, June 12, 2024.
The Russian ships' transit towards Cuba was monitored by six warships from the United States Navy, Canada, and France. They included the U.S. Navy destroyers USS Donald Cook, USS Delbert Black, USS Truxton, U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stone, the Canadian frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec, and a French Lafayette class frigate.
"This is not a surprise we've seen them do this these type of port calls before and these are routine naval visits that we've seen under different administrations," Singh said.
"We're always constantly going to monitor any foreign vessels operating near U.S. territorial waters," she added. U.S. territorial waters stretch out 12 nautical miles from the coastline.
A U.S. official said the Russian ships came 30 miles from the American coastline as they transited the Atlantic Ocean.
On Thursday, U.S. Southern Command disclosed that a U.S. submarine had pulled into the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in an apparent show of U.S. force in the region though it was labeled as a "routine port visit".
"The fast-attack submarine USS Helena is in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of a routine port visit as it transits the U.S. Southern Command geographic area of responsibility while conducting its global maritime security and national defense mission," said a SOUTHCOM statement posted on X. "The vessel's location and transit were previously planned."
Russia's Defense Ministry has been very open about the port of call in Havana being made by the frigate "Admiral Gorshkov," the nuclear-powered submarine "Kazan," the sea supply tanker "Akademik Pashin" and the ocean rescue tug "Nikolai Chiker."
Cuba's defense ministry has described the visit as "keeping with the historical friendly ties between Cuba and the Russian Federation and is fully consistent with international rules." In a statement, the ministry said "none of the ships carry nuclear weapons, due to which our country does not pose any threat to the region."
Even though the Russian ships are in port, Singh said the U.S. was "going to continue to monitor what's happening in the region."
According to the Pentagon, Russia has sailed warships into the Western Hemisphere yearly from 2013 to 2020 with regular port visits into Havana.
The most recent docking of a warship was in June 2023 though the most recent military exercise in the region was in 2008 with Venezuela.
A U.S. official said that the port visit to Havana will last a few days and that sometime next week the Russian flotilla is expected to make a port of call in Venezuela.
The Russian Navy ships will not be the only warships from a foreign military power making port in Havana this week.
The Canadian patrol vessel HMCS Margaret Brooke will conduct a port visit to Havana from June 14 to 17, the first time that a Canadian warship has made a port of call there since 2016.
