The Navy also retains an extremely weak antisubmarine warfare capability. The Cuban Navy can pose a more substantial threat to undefended civilian vessels. Air Force The Air and Air Defense Forces are now incapable of defending Cuban airspace against large numbers of high-performance military aircraft. Slower or less sophisticated aircraft, however, would be vulnerable to Cuban air and air defense systems. The Air Force probably has less than 2 dozen operational MiG fighters.
Pilot training is judged barely adequate to maintain proficiency.
Fighter sorties have declined significantly in recent years. Special Operations Forces Cuba's special operations units are smaller and less proficient than they were a decade ago, but they can still perform selected military and internal security missions. The FAR retains a battalion-size airborne unit and other special operations forces. Special operations training continues, albeit on a smaller scale than in the past. However, their core personnel still have the potential to make an enemy invasion costly.
