I don’t ever recall them coming this far. Did they fly to the Caribbean during the CW?
Out of Cuba frequently.
Quite frequently, into and out of Cuba. And their submarines were on this side of the pond on a regular basis as well.
We have 45 minutes warning when Russians set off their ICBM...(thanks to radar) but with bombers coming within minutes of vital targets (on ‘routine’ reconnaissance flights) we won't have time to stop them.
This is more like prep for a hot war than a resumption of the cold war.
