![]() As news broke of the attack, photos of the repainted U.S. The bombers missed many of their targets and left most of Castro's air force intact. The CIA had used obsolete World War II B-26 bombers, and painted them to look like Cuban air force planes. The first mishap occurred on April 15, 1961, when eight bombers left Nicaragua to bomb Cuban airfields. ![]() The success of the plan depended on the Cuban population joining the invaders. ![]() The United Revolutionary Front would send leaders from South Florida and establish a provisional government. The main force would advance across the island to Matanzas and set up a defensive position. Simultaneously, a smaller force would land on the east coast of Cuba to create confusion. Paratroopers dropped in advance of the invasion would disrupt transportation and repel Cuban forces. A 1,400-man invasion force would disembark under cover of darkness and launch a surprise attack. The original invasion plan called for two air strikes against Cuban air bases. The CIA set up training camps in Guatemala, and by November the operation had trained a small army for an assault landing and guerilla warfare President Eisenhower approved the program in March 1960. Third, I listed 4 other wars the Cubans fought in before Angolaįifth, the SADF and Cubans arrived in Angola in roughly the same time.ġ Like Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by patches689: 6:07pm On Nov 23, 2014 meaning that the invaders achived as much combined arms warfare in 3 days as Nigeria has in its history It involved beach landings and air-strikes. Second, it is a fact that the Bay of Pigs was a CIA backed invasion of Cuba. Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn( m): 5:55pm On Nov 23, 2014įirst, show us where the cubans defeated us Re: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by EVarn( m): 5:47pm On Nov 23, 2014 Teenage Cuban girls born when Cuba had no war and trouble, born and grew with ZERO war experience, these girls defeated South African military with all the SADF special forces, recces, buffalo battalion that was nicknamed ' Terrible Defeated Ones '.Shame Shame South Africa ! Your own source says the above and also adds a support to my point, Bay Of Pigs was a civilian coup plot and civilian action, see yoru source talking about airliner h.ijack, is that a war?īay Of Pigs was a 3 day civilian coup detat and not a war ! FACT ! "Also on 14 April 1961, a Cubana airliner was hijacked and flown to Jacksonville, Florida resultant confusion then helped discovery of the staged 'defection' of a B-26 and pilot at Miami on 15 April." If coup detat is a war, then we have plenty of war history in Nigeria involving use of tanks by opposing sides of many coup plots we have in a period of over 20 years, so have we ever brought that here as a war? NAF officer Luther and officer Ekele tried the same coup detat with Alpha jets but were stopped before take off to go bomb President Babangida ! See what your own source says, the B-26 Bombers were NOT doing anything, American history tells me as an American that we NEVER b.ombed Cuba and NEVER fought war with Cuba because we fear USSR intervention.Ĭuban coup plotters bombed an airfield once, same B-26 Bombers that Biafra used for a whole one year and you said it means nothing, so how does it now mean something when Cuban coup plotters used it for one hour? Learn about what we are talking about before you come here. ![]() They were formed into a Brigade of Cuban exiles You dont know that the CIA trains military forces. ![]()
