US-Sanctioned Russian Military Transport Plane Touches Down At Cuban Airfield
In a development which sounds reminiscent of the most dangerous moments of the Cold War, a Russian military cargo plane has been observed landing in Cuba, just as Havana is in Washington's regime change crosshairs.
The Ilyushin Il-76, operated by the government-linked airline Aviacon Zitotrans, is reportedly under US sanctions as it has a well-documented history of ferrying military gear to Latin America. It touched down late Sunday at a Cuban military airfield.
The same aircraft - registered RA-78765 - logged flights to Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba in October amid rising tensions between Washington and Caracas.
According to details in Fox News:
Flight-tracking records show the aircraft stopped in St. Petersburg and Sochi in Russia; Mauritania, Africa; and the Dominican Republic. Each landing would have required approval from host governments, offering a window into which countries are continuing to permit Russia...

How Arctic Ice Loss Is Reshaping Global Shipping
Not only does the Arctic hold significant oil and rare earth resources, thawing ice means that shipping routes can be reduced drastically.
Since 1980, the Arctic's minimal ice extent, its smallest point, has shrunk by 39%.
At the same time, the Arctic is a strategic priority for Russia, both for freight transport and military security.
More recently, President Trump has argued that Greenland - a territory he has threatened to acquire - is critical to U.S. security.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, shows how Arctic ice loss is redrawing shipping routes, based on data from multiple sources, including NASA, World Bank, NOAA, and ArcData.
The Rise of Arctic Shipping As Ice Thaws
Over the last decade, Arctic shipping has increased 37%, with 1,781 unique ships sailing a combined 12.7 million nautical miles in 2024.
Ship traffic is increasing as Arctic ice is thawing at a notable pace. For perspective, the loss in minimal ice...
