The Cuban Air Defense forces use the SHILKA. Whenever there was a flap, such as flotillas from Miami heading to the island to spread propaganda, the DAAFAR (Defensa Anti-Aerea Artilleria de Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias) would roll their SHILKAS to the beach on my street. I would lace up my running shoes and jog by units to try and get some unit markings. The soldier in the turret would wave his AK-47 in the air and yell at me to stay away.
The Cuban Ministry of Defense is organized along Soviet lines. The Air Defense forces are a separate component.
