@MarkJTrev @Reuters In many respects this resembles the last visit of the Admiral Gorshkov to the western Atlantic in Jan 2023, albeit this time getting a lot closer to the United States with the port visit to Havana, plus the presence of Kazan & her 32 additional missiles.
A Russian Defense Ministry video of the frigate Admiral Gorshkov in the Western Atlantic simulating "a missile strike launch with a hypersonic Tsirkon-missile at a sea target, a ship of a mock enemy located at a distance of more than 900 kilometers".

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his military to practise the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons after what Moscow said were threats from France, Britain and the United States.

Hard to watch this from inside Putin's press conference. Evan should be in the hall with us. not in this cage. I asked what it would take to bring Evan & Paul Whelan home. He said: Russia is “in contact w the American side” but any agreement must be “mutually acceptable.”
A Moscow court on Thursday upheld a ruling to hold in detention until Jan. 30 U.S. reporter Evan Gershkovich, arrested in Russia earlier this year on espionage charges. https://t.co/t1DEvlyWcG
