U.S. deploys warships as Russian fleet makes close pass to Florida in approach to Cuba

Reported 7 months ago

The U.S. Navy has dispatched warships and aircraft to monitor a Russian naval flotilla that sailed close to South Florida's coast en route to Cuba for extensive military exercises, including a hypersonic-capable frigate and nuclear-capable submarine simulating strikes on enemy ships. The U.S. has deployed destroyers and a reconnaissance aircraft in response, while both countries claim the activities pose no direct threat. Russian ships may also visit Venezuela and the activities are part of wider global naval exercises that include Cuba, Canada, and Venezuela. Users are tracking ship positions, and the Port of Havana will be busy with arrivals from various navies.
