As far as I understand, special forces are very different, including - on a climatic component. Ours needed experience in operations in hot and humid climates?

[Baikonur]

This is great! We must begin to gain a foothold in Cuba specifically! From a small, slowly, and then it can reach the bases of the airborne forces and naval forces and strategic missile forces, etc. reach! Right under the nose of the USA! Dashing trouble began! Happy!

PS: Cuba is an old friend who is better than the new two! (Russian proverb)

[St Petrov]

there the trail has already been trodden by our experts during the Cold War.

Judging by the interviews of retirees from the group "B" of the TsSN, everything is in order with the special forces in Cuba. Ours had a lot to learn.

Everything new is well forgotten old. (with)

[Black Colonel]

There was once a program about how in Soviet times our specialists went to learn how to shoot a pistol from "some Nicaraguan." According to the recollections of one of them, "... our arrogance was immediately knocked down by what we saw in his performance."

[cniza]

Learning is always good.

[wandlitz]

there the trail has already been trodden by our experts during the Cold War.
It’s just those specialists who previously went there at a respectable age, but now it's time for the young to train ...

[Civil]

SPEAK AND WRITE that the Cubans saw in Syria!

[Angro Magno]

I believe this is being done in preparation for the operation in Nicaragua. Or maybe the Cubans will raise it. It will even be easier.

[79807420129]

It's a good thing, the Cubans were excellent warriors and they have something to adopt and we have something to learn from them.

[mirag2]

take root, settle about staying in Cuba !!!! No options!

[vodolaz]

I visited Cuba a couple of times and still want to)

[Alexey Boukin]

Or is it better to conduct joint exercises in Cuba?

Apparently an exchange of tactics is planned: D For example, I am pleased to think that our Cubans are taught how to storm the cities occupied by the enemy: D

[Monetniy]

Also thought about it

[Lexa-149]

Even if you don’t need to, but to have knowledge and develop tactics applicable to our special forces, oh, how it is!

[Strezhevchanin]

Nothing, this is now called))) well done!

[S-cream]

Five days, six nights?

What can be learned in 5 days? Who should be scooped from whom, in fact?

I am inclined to the fact that just specialists from the Russian MTR are taken out for training in real conditions that cannot be found in Russia. Jungle, tropics, all things ...

[demo]

A correctly asked question contains 50% of the answer to it.

What can be learned in 5 days? Who should be scooped from whom, in fact?

It was just a re-location.
Shamans, just like that, I would not go there.

[Black Colonel]

Exchange of experience is necessary, especially in such specific climatic conditions.

[padded jacket]

It is very good that our country finally remembered Cuba, the Cubans are good and persistent warriors who are very nice to our country, despite its betrayal on our side during the time of Yeltsin and his gang of different Chubais and Gaidars.
The army of Cuba is armed of course very poorly, but the equipment is in very good condition despite its age and many of its developments:

Cuban commandos are one of the best special forces in the world. In Soviet times, they were like a "plug in every hole" into which the USSR intervened.
I spoke with one veteran of the Angolan war - he expressed rave reviews about these guys. And when our transport workers landed in Angola, the flyers admitted that they slept peacefully only when there were Cubans in the inner ring of guards: they did not let a single local "marshal" pass without a detailed check, and they "extinguished" saboteurs on the approaches, and not "on fact ".
So, I think OUR THEM has something to learn.
And I think that those commentators who suggest that there was a need for our landing, after the Arctic, to master the peculiarities of action in tropical latitudes are right

[marinier]

Hello dear!
So you will bring amers to a heart attack.
Probably after this news all the east coast of the United States, added red
Hazard level.
So ached RUSSIAN GO.

Do not wake famously (RUSSIA) while it is quiet !!!

Airborne flies to Cuba
From the Russian side.
If only they didn’t play too much,
If only there was no war ...

[31R-US]

The base there will be Russian.

[lukke]

It is nice to read about innovative ideas and their implementation of at least one state husband in the country! and doubly pleased that he was in uniform. But Chubais and others like him, let him continue to smoke quietly aside, if he is remembered in Russia, then I hope only with obscenities.

It's high time to answer the abrams in the Baltic states!

[Mountain shooter]

"Calibers" are easily placed in a standard sea container. And it is impossible to track such a "bookmark", in contrast to the times of the "Cuban missile crisis".
And it’s clear that the special forces will guard these containers. So the guys went to look around on the ground. This is me, for example. Maybe so, let's go hang out, the girls in Cuba, they say, fire!

Very - fire.

Judging by the level of leadership of the delegation, the documents should be signed quite significant. And meetings with the leadership of the Cuban parallel structures will be at a high level. This is evidenced by the short duration of the visit. Learning will come later. The colonels will agree about it ...

[da Vinci]

During the USSR, GRU and Alpha special forces actively exchanged experience in Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, and other friendly countries. This was described in the memoirs of the heads of these special services.

[lukke]

The lane "Os" (there was such an "attraction" for the amigo) the first time the guys from the Office "B" could not pass, and these are not ordinary paratroopers ...

[Dinko]

The Cubans are strong guys, it’s time to learn from them. Our military men who served in Cuba have always respected the Cubans as fighters.

[Zaurbek]

I envy business travelers: Rum, cubes, sea .... In between.

[sokudo]

While in Cuba, I came across several young officers (mostly the Airborne Forces) who were resting on vacation several times. It was always surprising that the MO really paid so well that the guys have enough money to stay with their family in Cuba in 4-5 * hotels.
