Russian Foreign Ministry: Russia is not going to open a military base in Cuba, and is considering the possibility of creating a maintenance aviation center

After several meetings between representatives of the Cuban government and the leaders of the Russian Ministry of Defense, materials began to appear in which it was reported that Moscow and Havana may agree on the deployment of a Russian military base on Liberty Island. These publications commented on in the Russian Foreign Ministry. The text of the statement by the head of the Department of Latin America, Alexander Schetinin leads RIA News:

We have no plans to open military bases in Cuba. We never talked about this. With Cuba, our relations are completely different. Issues of the combat capability of the Cuban armed forces are a completely different aspect, but it has absolutely no reason to say that we are going to create something there.

At the same time, the government of the Russian Federation reports that Russian repair can begin its work in Cuba aviation Centre. According to Shchetinin, the center can carry out repair of Russian-made helicopters, a considerable number of which are operated in Latin America, including Cuba.

In addition, the Russian diplomat didn’t rule out that in the near future Washington will have to consider the issue of returning Guantanamo’s territory (there is currently an American base and special prison) to the Cuban state.

Alexander Schetinin:

Of course, the Cuban government has every reason to politically raise the issue of returning the territory of Guantanamo to the Republic of Cuba. This is a requirement that is expressed as one of the components of the process of normalizing relations between the two countries - the United States and Cuba. Of course, this process is difficult from a legal point of view, there are a number of legal elements that continue to operate. In this case, the Cuban colleagues, I am sure, will act competently to ensure that this act historical justice, the return of Guantanamo under the national jurisdiction of Cuba, was committed. This is absolutely logical in the current context of the development of the situation.

Let the base be called the center. For growth.

Russia is not going to open a military base in Cuba

I like this statement of our Foreign Ministry ...))))
Something conceived again! There will again be some kind of surprise ... For example a warehouse of containers of different ..

[Baikonur]

Better Library! Or the Center for Help and Research on Migratory Birds! And even its own form and the name "Research Force"

Let the base be called the center.

"What's in a name..."

We have the same as with "process with a file after assembly" - one hell of a base will turn out

Yes, and also a radar "repair" center is needed

For example: "Center for the Study of Siberian Cranes Migration".
Well done our. They know how to put dust in their eyes.
"We do not have an aircraft carrier, but an aircraft carrier." (Bang and the Bosphorus is open for Kuznetsov)
"We do not have a naval base, but an MTO point in Syria" (Bam, and we are already restoring the 5th squadron in Mediterranean).
"We do not have a tank plant, but Uralvagonzavod" (Bam and "Armata")
Yes, such examples are heaps. From names, the essence of things does not change. Base in Cuba is likely to be.

[Talgat]

It must be understood that so far this is still not a base, but the fact that there is "movement" is already good

It is not yet time to throw a direct challenge to the "masters of the world" - and the base in Cuba is already "a glove in the face"

And it seems that this glove is no longer abandoned by us (sadly, fact), but China, which is uniquely growing as the main geopolitical opponent of the United States in the 21st century

Therefore, China is building a canal in Nicaragua - a competitor to the Panama. Therefore, then all 9 countries of the Bolivarian Revolution - all customers, primarily not Russia but China
And there is a possibility that a full-fledged military base close to the "amers' side" will still be put by China and not by us

Moreover, I strongly suspect that Russian US opposition in Ukraine and Syria has been agreed and approved by China

To play a more independent role, we (we are Eurasia - Russia Kazakhstan Belarus Kyrgyzstan Tajikistan Armenia and even Mongolia, etc.) must urgently unite in a strong and united military economic union - based on our 3 republics and the EAEU with the CSTO

[bombowoz]

Are you talking about Club-K?

[Vend]

The Cubans and the warriors themselves, what to look for, why do we need a base there. If the ports are open, why build a base.

The airbase in Cuba is a powerful club constantly raised over the foe right from his "backyard". In addition, it is practically control of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, where our strategic submarine cruisers with nuclear weapons on board serve. They need air cover.
Think for yourself, can you go for a walk in our Black Sea? BUT? And that means we NEED to have a base near their shores. This is required by the concept of parity. Otherwise, our partners may experience a sense of impunity and permissiveness.

[kepmor]

Read the text carefully, there’s no talk about any airbase!
A repair center will be created to service only the helicopters of our production. The repair center and the air base are completely different things.
I repeat, but we lost a club in 2002 - we closed the Lourdes intelligence center ...

Of course. And if all of a sudden, during a seasonal exacerbation of international confinement, the territory of the repair center accidentally (well, the GPS navigator has broken!) Flies several strategic missile-carrying helicopters with nuclear weapons on board (And why is the Tu-160 not a helicopter? normal helicopter ), then the repair center will certainly repair them!
It is clear that all this is a joke. However, there is a joke in every joke, and the rest is true :)

[Throw]

If only the bear clings to the bear ..

Have Cubans bought helicopters? Bought. Fix it.

They will still buy dryers - well, how can we not help here, and we will repair them.

Do you need to transport spare parts with transports? - We’ll fix the airfield, we’ll adjust the radar ..

All this economy needs to be protected from the frenzied military of Honduras and Guadeloupe ballistic missiles? Need to!

So quite a normal aircraft repair factory is looming ..

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Look at the root, dear Lance!

Does the economy need to be protected from the frenzied military of Honduras and Guadeloupe ballistic missiles?

And if you recall that somewhere there, in the depths of dark waters, the inhabitants of the sunken Atlantis hatched their hostile and absolutely anti-Cuban plans, then it would not hurt to forget about the shipyard ... to repair Cuban patrol boats!

[Throw]

Right! Cuban patrol ships of the 11661 and 21631 projects!

A club, as you put it, is entered in the Far East. And she is no worse. The base is not needed. Enough open ports where our ships can always go. Cuba does not refuse us this. As our ships sailed, they will sail.

We should attach this repair base closer to GUANTANAMO, as they say, you can combine business with pleasure.

[FID]

Quote: The same LYOKHA

It would be necessary to attach this repair base closer to GUANTANAMO

Most likely, I do not say, but most likely this center will be in San Antonio de los Banos. It is south of Havana, almost in the center of Cuba.

I generally propose on the outskirts of Los Angeles to locate some type of branch of the Izhevsk plant for the repair of the type of automatic rifles (AK-47) as they call our AK. And what, the amers have millions of Kalash in their hands, and where to repair them? Disorder. Well, then .......

[A1L9E4K9S]

And to promise why we will not open, we will show the future, we can open it, if necessary.

[Comrade Bender]

Yes, let it be called as you like, if only for the benefit of our country.

As long as our center is in Cuba, we will keep the United States by the balls.

[kepmor]

What are you going to keep the USA for eggs, rostok? Repair teams or what?
Yes, we "kept the mattress cat by the balls" until 2002, when our KING closed our intelligence center in Lourdes (a suburb of Havana)! B .. well, you see, there was not enough money for maintenance, n .... full! Read about this radar and you will understand what Russia has lost! That's where pure betrayal is!
I sat in the captains, it's time to walk around like an old man ...

What? Sounds extremely politically correct. You can also add a "patient" to the gate ...

[sl22277]

The best guarantee is that the US will lift sanctions on this country. It is enough that Russian ships are there. "Caliber" will find its goals, if necessary .... Unlike Ukraine, they did not sell, they did not betray. "We have many interesting promising projects in energy, mechanical engineering, space, in each of these areas we can achieve serious results," - said the Russian president.

[egor1712]

Cuba must not be lost and always kept in sight. Let the repair center or something else be called, but Russia should be in the underbelly of the United States.

[kill the fascist]

let the mattresses not get scared ahead of time - we’ll open a tire fitting in Cuba ... to clean this and that :)

[Maksus]

I like the fact that our diplomats have finally become very diplomatic - everything is very streamlined in formulations, but you will not quarrel. Just think, there will be 100 planes and a couple of airborne battalions in Cuba - so repair, sir, gentlemen Americans!

"... aviation repair base ...". Why not call it that? From there "repaired" products will fly to the USA after refueling. G. Zhukovsky, we have a platform "Rest", a flamethrower "Buratino", a self-propelled gun "Akatsia". And to take the prison away and not close it, to make a transfer to Siberia - war criminals are walking around to the north.

[Belousov]

It’s empty, they’ll open at least something there. And then in that region we are only losing ground.

[inpu]

Well, to drive the VKS squadron there for "repair".

The amazing stubbornness of basophrenics. Even in the article refuting the rumors about the mythical "our bases in Cuba", they manage to read something of their own between the lines. Some blessed ones.

[raid14]

And not only that: Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said that our country plans to deploy GLONASS signal calibration centers in Cuba.
"This is important for us. You know that the United States of America does not want to place GLONASS stations on its territory, and Cuba is not against it," Rogozin said.
“Cubans are people with whom you can deal even in such large projects,” Dmitry Rogozin summed up at the end of the signing ceremony.
Russia gives Cuba two state loans. One - for one hundred million dollars to finance the modernization and expansion of the antillana de Acero Jose Marti metallurgical plant. The second, one billion two hundred million euros, will go to finance the construction of four blocks of thermal power plants in Cuba.
October 22 signed an agreement in the field of pharmaceuticals. Cuba has one advanced and highly effective diabetes control drug. It is already certified in the Russian Federation and is used specifically in some clinics.
In addition, KamAZ comes to Cuba. It is planned to supply up to a thousand trucks. The previously delivered Soviet trucks will also be repaired. Our experts will be engaged in the Cuban bus fleet. And in early November, several delegations from Russia will come to Cuba and hold talks on the creation of a helicopter center for the repair of equipment

Equipment will reach its destination in the military town of Tapa on October 26th. After that, two sapper tanks and support equipment should arrive in Tapu.

It is planned that about 40 units of heavy equipment will be delivered to Estonia, including four M1A2 Abrams tanks, 10 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and three Paladin self-propelled artillery installations.

The equipment is intended for soldiers of the third US infantry division, who will serve in Estonia as part of the rotation of American troops in the country.
