The exercise, which will involve Russian warships and long-range bombers, will be the first simultaneous air and sea maneuvers conducted by Russia in the Caribbean since 2019.
The United States believes Russia will begin air and naval exercises in the Caribbean in the coming weeks, reports CBS News.
The publication notes that the exercise, which will involve Russian warships and long-range bombers, is the first simultaneous air and sea maneuver Russia has conducted in the Caribbean since 2019.
The US calls them in response to US support for Ukraine and increased US military training with NATO allies, but they are seen as an unlikely response to US President Joe Biden’s recent partial lifting of a ban on Ukraine using US weapons on Russian targets, as they had previously planned.
According to the publication’s source, the exercises in Russia are not considered a direct threat to the United States.
According to forecasts, Russian ships will call at ports in Cuba and, possibly, Venezuela.
The exercise will reportedly continue through at least the summer, culminating in a global naval exercise in the fall.
It was previously reported about the joint training of the air and air defense forces of Russia and Belarus.
