Atomic submarine with winged Kazan rockets in Cuba is called to intimidate the event and the US - isw

According to analysts, the appearance of Russian ships in the port of Havana serves as a reminder of the Caribbean crisis in 1962. Recently, these vessels participated in high -precision missile training. The ships of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation on June 12 arrived in the harbor (Cuba) as part of the planned five -day event in the port. About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of June 12.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the arrival of the Northern Fleet, which included a frigate of the class "Admiral Gorshkov", atomic submarine with the winged rockets "Kazan", tanker "Academician Pashin" and ocean rescue tug "Nikolai Chicker". The appearance of Russian ships in the port of Havana was preceded by "Kazan" and "Admiral Gorkov" in high -precision missile training.

Russian journalists reported that Admiral Gorshkov will be opened to the public by June 15, and the event will end on June 17. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov also met with Foreign Minister Cuba Bruno Rodriguez Parril in Moscow on June 12 for discussion of Russian-Kubin relations.

ISW has previously evaluated that the appearance of Russian ships in the port of Havana is most likely some of the large -scale Russian efforts to remind of the Cuban rocket crisis and limit the US. The appearance of the Kazan atomic submarine is so close to the US territorial waters in a port related to Washington's historical events for Washington, probably intended to sow fear in the US and in the West, limit and weaken the resistance of the West before the Russian Federation.

American and Cuban officials emphasized that this event at the port is not a real threat. The Caribbean crisis or the "Cuban rocket crisis" is an extremely tense diplomatic and military confrontation between the US and the USSR in October 1962. Initially, the United States in 1961 was placed in Turkey Medium -range missiles "Jupiter", which could reach Moscow and industrial centers of the USSR. In response, the USSR placed units with nuclear weapons in Cuba, close to the US coast.
