What class of vessel is it?

This comment was deleted.

It is a Batch 2 Udaloy class Destroyer. Basically a large conventionally powered, anti-submarine ship with a decent anti-air battery too.

Personally I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, the USN has scrapped better ships than that :)

Why are you commenting as though it was someone else who asked the question? Are you becoming schizophrenic now? Did you just watch a rerun of 13 days? Are you becoming paranoid now? ;o)

Only if it is delivering IRBM or ICBMd.

What if they send it under the pretext of delivering humanitarian aid with a warship?

lol

The last time Russia & Cuba had a slumber party, we wound up with the missile crisis. Let's hope Raúl continues to be a little more laid back than his big bro.

Please, we have REAL things to worry about. A few Russians on tour isn't worth the bother. I'm sure the Cubans will remember how to deal with drunken Russian sailors.
