Description
Aggregate Cuba drone-arsenal headline (2026-05-17). Specific type breakdown is not yet public; likely composed of Iranian Mohajer-6 MALE drones, Shahed-136 loitering munitions, Russian Orlan-10 ISR, and smaller Chinese-made systems. Reportedly positioned within 90 nautical miles of Florida.
Capability notes
Range/payload mix would put the entire US Southeast within reach. Combined with Cuba's SIGINT capacity at Bejucal and Lourdes, gives the regime a real ISR + strike envelope against US homeland targets for the first time since the missile crisis.
Quantity evidence · 300 (confirmed)
Axios (2026-05-17) reports Cuba has acquired more than 300 attack drones from Iran, Russia, and China — the largest such stockpile in Latin America. DroneXL and Chinese state outlets (Xinhua, CGTN) carry the same figure.
