Is there a Chinese underground nuclear submarine base in Cuba? (Updated): "
In its August 7 post titled “China’s space weapons exposured, Russia warned the United States directly with nuclear war,” China Military Report alerts to the possibility of a Chinese underground nuclear submarine base in Cuba:
“Jane’s Defense Weekly” reported that U.S. companies take high-resolution digital earth satellite images makes the United States recognized the existence of Chinese underground nuclear submarine base in Cuba, and captured 096 Chinese military is extremely confidential, “Tang” class strategic nuclear submarine (I commented: If a message is true, then this is a super enhanced version of the “Cuban missile crisis!” and I want to draw attention to this is that, since the Chinese nuclear submarine base in Cuba, then it may even is almost certain that Russia has military bases in Cuba and even the nuclear military bases! we know, the issue of Russian troops stationed overseas could be far more positive than China!).
There is no specific reference to the publication date of the JDW article nor the location of the base. A search through JDW‘s website has yielded no article.
However, if true, this significantly poses a major strategic threat to the United States mainland if future hostilities were to arise between the United States and Chinese militaries.
Moreover, China’s naval modernization efforts is to establish a blue water fleet.
Does this mean that Chinese naval power projection aspires outside its natural periphery of the South China Sea1 to also include the Atlantic and Caribbean with possible basing in Cuba?
