Russian Spy Ship's Arrival in Cuba Raises Eyebrows
[ABSee News] The historic U.S.-Cuba talks are under way and they may have attracted a new addition to the Havana port.
The Russian spy ship Viktor Leonov CCB-175 parked there Tuesday, laden with high-tech software, radar and 30-millimeter cannon and anti-aircraft guns, replacing a cruise ship that had been there the day before.
Normally, the surveillance ship travels up and down the American Eastern Seaboard in international waters, with its radars pointed in the direction of the United States.
President Asks Congress to Lift the Embargo Against Cuba
Obviously the Champ has requested the Viktor Leonov to help monitor the lifting of sanctions, the embargo, and establish communications for the soon to arrive Russian fleet. Hopefully the last GI leaving GITMO will remember to bring the flag.
