October 10, 2016
”Moscow has no plans to re-establish military bases in Cuba and Vietnam”, sources from Russian Defence Ministry have said, denying earlier reports. Last week, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Nikolay Pankov said that plans to return to Cuba and Vietnam were under consideration. There were Soviet and Russian military bases in Cuba and Vietnam until 2002. The Russian Navy was deployed in Cam Rahn, Vietnam, and Russia had a radio-electronic intelligence center in Lourdes, south of Havana (Cuba).
