Cold War 2.0 between America and China: American spy drone worth $240 million seen in the sky of Cuba

News India Live, Digital Desk: The increasing tension between America and China has now taken a new turn in the skies of the Caribbean island of Cuba. America’s most modern and expensive spy drone MQ-4C Triton, which costs about $ 240 million (about Rs 2000 crore), has been seen flying over Cuba. According to Zee News report, this high-profile spying operation has created a stir in Beijing and Havana. Experts believe that this is a befitting reply from America to China’s ‘Global Surveillance Network’. What was ‘Triton’ doing over Cuba? MQ-4C Triton is not just an ordinary drone, but it is a flying spy station. According to intelligence sources, there are concrete reasons behind its circling Cuba: Eye on Chinese spy base: Recent reports claimed that China has established a large military training and intelligence gathering base in Cuba. America was on a mission to intercept the activities of this base and the signals installed there. Missile Tracking and Surveillance: The Triton drone can fly continuously for 24 hours at an altitude of more than 55,000 feet with 360-degree radar coverage. It was tracking any suspicious maritime activity occurring off the coasts of Cuba. USP of the $240 million ‘flying eye’: Range and capability: This drone can scan an area of ​​thousands of square miles at a time. Its technology is so advanced that it identifies the type of ships and their activities in the sea in the blink of an eye. Ineffective even in bad weather: It is specially designed for maritime surveillance, which is capable of taking clear photographs even amidst clouds and storms. China and Cuba’s sharp reaction China has called this move of America a ‘violation of sovereignty’ and an attempt to create instability in the region. At the same time, the Cuban government has called it part of America’s ‘intimidation policy’. It is worth noting that last year, when America shot down an alleged ‘spy balloon’ of China, this game of hide and seek in the sky between the two countries has become more dangerous. Russia also has a keen eye. Interestingly, at the time when the American drone was hovering near Cuba, at the same time, Russian Navy activity was also recorded in the Atlantic Ocean. Experts say that Cuba is once again becoming an ‘espionage arena’ among the superpowers, which is reminiscent of the ‘missile crisis’ of 1962.
