Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin, with data gathered from @milinfolive.
[ColonelCassad] China continues to strengthen its presence in Cuba by placing new radar stations near key American facilities. According to the latest data, new stations have appeared in four areas: Bejucal, Wajay, Calabazar and El Salao.

This news has raised serious concerns in the United States, where they believe that the stations can be used by China to intercept confidential information from American military bases, spaceports and ships. American experts emphasize that the stations have a wide range of capabilities and can easily track US military activity in the region.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has officially stated that these facilities do not conduct active intelligence activities against the United States.

Gathering signals intelligence is generally considered passive.

#3  The missiles, once jammed, then receive a false target away from the original to ensure that the missiles no longer pose a threat.

Or, missile objectives can be redirected, post-launch in flight, without tedious reprogramming.

#1  Here's what the Cuban sites might be up to.

The (Russian) Krasukha-2 is a S-band system designed to jam Airborne Early Warning and Control (AWACS) aircraft such as the Boeing E-3 Sentry at ranges of up to 250 kilometres (160 mi).[2] [3] [4] The Krasukha-2 can also jam other airborne radars, such as those for radar-guided missiles. The missiles, once jammed, then receive a false target away from the original to ensure that the missiles no longer pose a threat. The Krasukha-2 guards mobile high-priority targets such as the 9K720 Iskander SRBM.[2] - WIKI

KRAS-2 or other system.
