A detachment of Russian warships of the Northern Fleet on its way to Cuba.

This was announced by the commander of the Russian Navy, Alexander Moiseev, quoted by Ria Novosti, explaining that the deployment falls within the scope of "international cooperation" between Moscow and Havana.

In recent days, joint military exercises in the Caribbean waters had been announced.

The voyage of the Moscow flotilla to Cuba has put the United States and Canada on alert.

US and Canadian warships - write the US media analyzing open source maritime and air tracking data - "follow the Russian flotilla like a shadow", which passed the eastern coast of Florida on its way to Cuba.

A P-8A Poseidon "submarine fighter" aircraft was also deployed to monitor the Russians.

From what we understand, the ships involved in the patrol would be the CG Stone, the destroyers USS Truxtun and USS Donald Cook, and the Canadian frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec.
