Cuban bases can accommodate bombers, official says

      RBC, 11.09.2008, Moscow 19:35:18.Cuba has sufficient infrastructure to accommodate strategic bombers, Commander of the Long-Range Aviation of Russia's Air Forces Major General Pavel Androsov told a news conference today. He noted that Russian air forces were not yet planning to land on Cuba, although they had studied its capacity.

      When asked whether they were going to fly to other countries except Venezuela, Androsov retorted that he could see no reasons why they should not. "The US air forces have already visited a lot of countries. We are not looking for enemies, rather, we are looking for friends, and friendship should be active," he stated, adding that Russia was looking for long-term partnerships.
