I wonder if a country could realistically just donate a ship or drone ship full of explosives to Ukraine, but in international waters near Cuba for Ukraine to remotely use immediately. I can’t see on paper why that’s any different from donating a tank and sending it over to Ukraine. And would have immense PR value I’d guess
This looks more like they are trying to hide their warships from Ukrainian attacks.
You dont waste a bunch of resources to move your warships to the other side of the planet when they are needed in your war.
This is not a "show of force", this is just embarrassing. Nobody is scared, nobody is impressed and nobody is fooled by this. The days of russia faking their superpower status is over.
Could be fun if there was a Ukrainian freighter within a few 100 miles which just accidentally dropped 10 sea drones in the water, remote controlled from Ukraine proper... :-p
Russia is playing hide and go seek, but not from the US. No, Russia is hiding their vessels from the Ukrainians eagle like eyes and their respective missles. If this is a "show of force" to the US, it's not very impressive.
Pootin takes the big L.

One is a tanker and one is a tugboat.
One frigate and submarine isn't much of a show of force considering how easy it has been for Ukraine to sink plenty of Russian warships with unmanned drones.
The submarine is the most dangerous when submerged and hiding.
The Frigate is weak because we can easily see it on top of the water.
If it gets too close to Ukraine it could get sunk by a usv. Unmanned surface vessel.
Problem is usv can also be unmanned submerged vessel or vehicle.
Unmanned subsurface vessel or vehicle.
Everyone is like drone but what kind? UAV or USV or USSV?
Figured ussv is for unmanned subsurface vessels.
Question is do we have abbreviations for autonomous types starting with an A?
I doubt they will make a standard abbreviation for autonomous vehicles of different types because they can't always know when a man is in control.
that moment entire navy lines up to go to cuba. mainly for the great weather.
a few moments later:
That moment whats left of your navy that doesnt need to be used arrives at cuba.
Show of force lol.
Imagine taking this long to succeed at invading Ukraine.
This isn't the time for these homophobic 40 year old assholes to be making a point as their last dying actions on earth.
Oh no, whatever shall we do? Ukraine wipe out their Black Sea force with duct tape M-80’s to cheep drones! Now I’m kidding about the m-80’s but it didn’t take much. To have a good navy you need to handle everything right, Russia has never done anything right with their navy.

I have this vision where the US military impersonates the Ukrainian military and blows en to shit.
I remember a similar scenario taking place a few decades ago and ole Cuba is still suffering from those bad decisions and this will ensure they continue to suffer.

In a daring show of force Russia has managed to sail a few ships to Cuba without losing any of them.
…yet…
Has anyone actually confirmed the same number of ships left Russia as have arrived in Cuba?
2 war ships escorted by 30 tug boats
They lost most of their black sea fleet to a country with no navy, but I'm impressed they managed to get 4 boats across the ocean in 2024
When you need to move your warships to the other side of the world to keep them safe from Ukrainian attacks. :)
Show of farce
True. But…maybe the Ukrainians will hit the Russian navy where it thinks it’s safe too.
If "someone" sinks a Russian warship in Cuba I simply die laughing.
If its a russian ship, chances are it will sink on its own. Or catch fire
Don’t die. We need your laughter to piss off Putin.
Is potato.

Exactly!!
There's a blockade which prevents them from utilizing their full navy in Ukraine, you know.
I think the title is misspelt. Should be "show of farce".
Show of shit
Nah when my dad farts that's a show of force
Show of farts?
that is witty sir/ma'm! a shamble of farce.....
Beat me to it
forced show
“Show of force” is quite the stretch.
"force" 😅
"Tug of force."
Give the tug boat some credit, the "force" wouldn't have made it there without it, truly the linchpin of the whole operation.
Show of force? Surprised they made it there without catching fire or otherwise killing their occupants
“Force” Sure. Okay. That’s cute.

One frigate, one tanker, one sub and a tugboat. Yes, quite the show of force.

Nice, wasn't around for the first Cuban missile crisis so pretty excited for the sequel.
>Nice, wasn't around for the first Cuban missile crisis Yeah you're not alone. These here boats also just now turned up for that party.
Tug Boat Joke n Pals!
I hear there's some great steeples in Cuba. Very popular with the Ukrainian navy I think.

The US has CSGs and warships all over the world. Funny how just making it across the Atlantic is news at all
In time for hurricane season.
Going t b a bad year too
I thought hurricane season was over
Started 1st of June.
you mean hide in cuba.
'Show of force' = We still have a couple of boats that float.
Those Orca's sinking boats have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

An unmanned subsurface vessel is just a torpedo
Then is a suicide drone just a rocket? Self propelled explosive charge
But is a hotdog a sandwich? That's the important question.
It definitely is!
I would say missile since its guided

Russian sailors crying they can’t live in Miami
Show of farce, more like it…
They may as well stay there looking at the crash and bank runs in Russia on news today
a true show of farce……
2 boats, one tug? Grand force shit show
It would be absolutely hilarious if this thing sunk in Cuba.
More like show of farce. Also… if they’re here.. who’s in Ukraine!?!?
Ukraine will take care of those too when they get back.
Show of farce they mean
was that submarine a sub before it arrived or more like a moskwa sub upgrade?
Is one of them named _Kamchatka_, per chance?
Why do I keep hearing that they fired off the payloads before they even got there? I know it’s fake but god damn that’s funny ☠️
C'mon Tugga!

In slow of farce
Ah, there's some latecomers to the Cuban missile crisis. Long way huh?
I'm surprised they were able to plan for enough fuel to make it all the way to Cuba.
Could be fun if there was a Ukrainian freighter within a few 100 miles which just accidentally dropped 10 sea drones in the water, remote controlled from Ukraine proper... :-p

Now if those warships are somehow disabled "accidentally" it will be brilliant. I won't say who would or should do such a "dastardly" attack.

False flags are most hilarious when openly telegraphed. If there’s “an incident” I will not be surprised in the least.
Thanks Joe!
