Russian Warships Near South Florida: U.S. Navy on High Alert

The U.S. Navy has deployed warships and aircraft to track a Russian naval flotilla traveling dangerously close to South Florida's coast.

On June 11, 2024, Russian vessels, including three ships and a nuclear-powered submarine, came within 30 miles of the South Florida coast.

Moscow has dispatched naval assets to the Caribbean for extensive military drills, focusing on simulated strikes by hypersonic and nuclear-capable submarines.

In response, the U.S. deployed three destroyers—USS Delbert D. Black, USS Donald Cook, and USS Truxtun—along with a Boeing P-8 maritime patrol aircraft and a Coast Guard cutter.

The Biden administration anticipates more Russian naval actions from the Caribbean to the South Pacific.

Russian ships, including the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and the Kazan nuclear submarine, are set to dock in Cuba.

The U.S. Navy continues to closely monitor the movements of the Russian flotilla near South Florida, ensuring national security remains intact.
