The Argentine press spoke about the states of Latin America with the potential deployment of missiles of the Russian Armed Forces

58

Russian officials draw parallels between current tensions with the US over Ukraine and the Cuban crisis in 1962, when the Soviet Union deployed nuclear missiles in the country and the United States attempted to maintain a naval blockade of the island.

The current threat expressed by Russia is a repetition of the policy pursued in the past

- noted in the Argentine edition of Pucará Defensa, which talks about Latin American countries with the potential deployment of Russian missiles.



Soviet planes taking off from Cuba patrolled the airspace near the United States until the collapse of the USSR. As indicated, in 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin, "seeking to improve ties with Washington," ordered the closure of military facilities on the island. However, under current conditions, “Russia intends to bring the Cold War back to Latin America” by deploying missiles and other weapons in the region.

As explained, the ground for this has already been prepared. In December 2018, the Russian Federation sent a pair of Tu-160 bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons to Venezuela. weapon. As the author writes, regularly, several times a year, an Il-96-400VPU, flying over Venezuela, enters Colombian airspace and heads to Nicaragua, conducting electronic reconnaissance.

Russia has long been exploring its military return to Cuba, and has repeatedly considered basing [troops] in Venezuela and Nicaragua

- the author notes.

According to him, Russian special forces could participate in the fight against FARC guerrillas in western Venezuela; Moscow is helping to restore the combat effectiveness of the country's Su-30 fleet (which generally has a lot of equipment from the Russian Federation), while Russian pilots may be at the controls of these fighters. Nicaragua has converted its army to a large number of products of Russian origin, including Tanks, armored vehicles and artillery.

The possibility of establishing Russian military bases in Latin America could again spawn something similar to the 1962 missile crisis, albeit on a larger scale, as Russia this time targeted several countries

- the conclusion is made in the Argentine press.

    The possibility of creating military bases of the RF Armed Forces in Latin America could again give rise to something similar to the 1962 missile crisis of the year

    Look how concerned they are... And the situation with NATO forces on the borders of Russia cannot again give rise to something similar to June 1941?

          And most will no longer fly - restoring is too expensive and problematic:
          worn out and exhausted. a major overhaul with modernization will cost too much and is therefore impractical,” the representative of the Ministry of Defense explained the decision.

          The question arises: do you want to sell non-flying aircraft to Cuba? Will they be happy with this gift?
          And to restore is cheaper to build a new one (according to the Ministry of Defense)

                Sometimes you need to spend a little, so as not to spend more later, much more. I think that our supply of such weapons can contribute to détente. Since the same United States understands only the language they speak themselves, that is, the language of power

    To create the South Pacific Alliance under the belly of the United States as an eternal land threat - this would put them in the position in which we and Europe have been for centuries, and make them spend more resources on direct defense and really tremble in their own skin, and not carelessly unleash another war over the ocean. Yes, and would reduce the US food supply. But we don’t have enough money and warships, even transport ships, to ensure a presence in South America similar to the American one in Europe. And a few missiles in Cuba are, of course, great, but only for the nuclear threat, and do not solve the unpunished looting of the United States on our continent. NATO is not going anywhere. And if we cooperate with China, then China will run the new alliance as the main supplier of finance and the fleet, and we will portray the role of England under America.
