A Russian warship, armed with anti-aircraft missiles and heavy guns, quietly pulled into a Havana port Thursday, about 200 miles from Miami. While Russian ships visit Cuba with some regularity, their arrivals are usually major events in Cuba with wide coverage in the state media there and even tours offered to Cuban citizens.

But this time, the Russian warship seems to have arrived in secret. Why it is there remains a total mystery.

 

A Russian embassy official who spoke to the new agency Reuters but would not give his name described the visit by the Soviet-era Viktor Leonov SSV-175 a “friendly” one, saying “it should leave tomorrow.”
Also on Thursday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Russia planned to set up military bases in Cuba, a perhaps ominous development, but one that makes the unannounced visit of the warship Viktor Leonov seem like less of a puzzle.
Russia will also establish bases in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Singapore, and the Seychelle islands, which are off of the African coast, Shoigu announced.
