Cuba has secured over 300 military drones and has reportedly initiated discussions on using them to strike the US facility at Guantanamo Bay, American naval vessels, and potentially Key West, Florida, approximately 90 miles from Havana, according to a report by Axios, which references classified intelligence.
This intelligence suggests that the Trump administration considers Cuba a significant threat due to advancements in drone technology and the presence of Iranian military personnel in Havana, as stated by a senior US official.
