Cuba conducted nationwide military drills with outdated equipment amid rising U.S.-Cuba tensions following Maduro’s capture.
Cuba held nationwide military drills on National Defense Day, featuring civilians and reservists with outdated weapons, amid escalating tensions with the U.S. following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
The exercises, part of a new weekly Saturday training program, aim to prepare for a "people's war" and project readiness against perceived imperialist threats.
However, footage shows rusted equipment and aging gear, raising questions about actual military preparedness.
The drills coincide with increased U.S. regional influence and rhetoric from leaders like President Donald Trump, who criticized the Cuban regime.
Despite ongoing economic collapse, shortages of essentials, and power outages, authorities have not explained how the drills will impact daily life.
