US Navy ships were used to monitor the frigate "Admiral of the Fleet Gorshkov" armed with "Zircon" missiles, which arrived in Cuba. This was reported by CBS News, citing the White House.
It is known that the Russian frigate in Cuba will be joined by the nuclear submarine "Kazan" (project "Yasen-M") with guided missile weapons, the rescue tug "Nikolai Chiker" and the tanker "Academician Pashin".
According to White House National Security Representative John Kirby, the United States is closely monitoring the maneuvers of the Russian Navy ships.
«So, we're going to be watching this. But we don't expect that this poses any threat to U.S. national security in the Caribbean region or anywhere else.
According to CBS News, the submarine "Kazan" is being monitored by two US Navy destroyers and two ships towing hydroacoustic equipment. The frigate, tug and tanker are being watched by another American destroyer and a US Coast Guard cutter.
