Cuba has acquired more than 300 military strike drones from Russia and Iran and is reportedly discussing the possibility of using them in attacks against U.S. targets, including the American base at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, U.S. warships, and potentially an airbase in Key West.
According to Ukrinform, Axios stated this in an article.
Citing U.S. officials, Axios reported that Cuba has likely been purchasing strike drones with "varying capabilities" from Russia and Iran since 2023 and deploying them at strategic locations across the island.
A senior U.S. official said that over the past month Cuban officials had approached Russia seeking additional supplies of drones and military equipment. The official referred to intercepted intelligence indicating that Cuban intelligence officers were also "trying to learn about how Iran has resisted us."
At present, U.S. officials do not consider Cuba to be an immediate threat or believe it is actively planning attacks on American assets.
