What would a U.S. first strike on Cuba look like in a modern conflict? In this DCS World military simulation, we explore a large-scale hypothetical air and naval campaign targeting western Cuba during the opening phase of a U.S. operation.
The scenario divides Cuba into three operational sectors, with this episode focusing on the western third of the island. The campaign begins with 30 UGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from an Ohio-class SSGN, targeting remaining Cuban Air Force fighter assets along with 20 key command, control, and communications facilities.
Next, two B-2 Spirit stealth bombers unleash 96 long-range precision-guided munitions against the Cuban Navy, eliminating a fleet of approximately 30 warships. To establish air superiority, 12 F-35A Lightning II fighters conduct SEAD/DEAD operations using anti-radiation missiles to destroy SA-3 surface-to-air missile sites and early warning radar systems across the region.
The strike package concludes with two B-1B Lancer bombers attacking major airbase runways to deny further air operations. Finally, a specialized extraction force secures and evacuates Cuba's national leadership as part of the operation's endgame.
All the time F-22 Raptors keep overwatch and EA-18G Growlers shut down the EM airspace.
This DCS World scenario is a fictional military simulation created for entertainment and discussion purposes, examining modern air power, cruise missile warfare, stealth aircraft operations, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), and large-scale joint-force strategy.
