White House national security spokesman John Kirby said that there is no indication that nuclear weapons will be involved in the military exercises, or deployed on any of the participating vessels.

Of the Russian vessels the Cuban government says will be visiting Havana are:

  • The Admiral Gorshkov Frigate

  • Kazan Nuclear-powered Submarine

  • Pashin Fleet Sea Tanker

  • Nikolai Chiker Salvage Tug

Although none of the Russian vessels is expected to be armed with nuclear missiles, Admiral Gorshkov is armed with Russia's new Zircon hypersonic missiles which can be used to target both ground targets and vessels.
