What is Cuba?
Cuba is a country located in the Caribbean with a long history of involvement in international conflicts. Since the arrival of the revolutionaries to power in 1959, Cuba has become an important actor in international politics, particularly in Africa, where it has provided military support to socialist governments.
It became an important ally of the Soviet Union after the 1959 revolution. During the Cold War, the relationship between Cuba and the United States became a constant conflict, and Cuba benefited from the economic and military support of the Soviet Union. Additionally, Cuba's intervention in international conflicts such as the Angolan War of Independence was part of the Soviet Union's strategy to expand its influence in the world.
In the 1970s, Cuba sent troops to Angola to support the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in its fight against South African military forces and their rebel allies in the Angolan War of Independence. Cuba's intervention was crucial to the success of the MPLA, leading to Angola's independence in 1975. Cuba also provided military support to socialist governments in Ethiopia and Mozambique.
Furthermore, Cuba has been accused of carrying out destabilization operations in Latin America, particularly in countries such as Nicaragua and El Salvador. Cuba's intervention in these international conflicts led to constant tensions between Cuba and the United States.
In summary, Cuba has been an important actor in international politics due to its involvement in international conflicts and support for revolutionary movements around the world. The relationship between Cuba and the United States has been tense for much of the 20th century due to ideological and political differences, and Cuba's participation in international conflicts has been part of the Soviet Union's strategy to expand its influence in the world.

Why this mod?
For my original project, I had the idea of relying only on RHSAFRF to limit dependency, but this led me to not have access to a series of key elements that would not allow me to represent the FAR correctly. Additionally, this new mod was almost completely rewritten, greatly improving the code and a series of unexciting but undoubtedly quality-improving things.

About this mod:
You can find equipment, units, factions, and unit groups from the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) and the Ministry of the Interior (MININT). The Cuban units use a set of shaved faces according to the FAR regulations. It also adds popular music tracks, national anthems, and flag and banner objects. The inventory of all vehicles was reviewed to include only equipment from the Cuban Armed Forces.
The mod includes contemporary units as well as some historic ones that no longer exist today, such as the Landing and Assault Brigade that participated in Angola. In general, the factions can be included in both Cold War and current contexts, mainly due to the fact that most of the Cuban weapons and vehicles belong to the Soviet era.

Future updates?
Snipers for FAR
English translation
Special Naval Destiny diver units from the Revolutionary Navy (MGR)
More unit groups and equipment as much as possible.
Add more dark green textures for land vehicles and improve helicopter textures to be more realistic.
Known issues?
Currently, all units use the "glassesEnabled = 0;" code to avoid showing facewears. This is because I have tried various methods to remove the random placement of these objects without success so far. Therefore, the units will not display facewears."

Not to justify Spanish colonialism there but its currently a pretty different situation since indigenous people in Cuba were very likely wiped out completely due to genocide while quite a few survived in America. If there's no indigenous people in a country who used to be there, how can that country help them directly except for doing as much accountability as possible?

Also, America can do much better for native Americans. Quality of life is much worse for them compared to white Americans. Here's a collection of sources about it below.

And with regards to "yall are literally formed from colonialism", I'm not Cuban nor a fan of Cuba's government lol

@Isaac with that logic cuba is to as cubans are descendents from spaniards who colonized cuba and established a colony that would eventually become cuba meaning yall are literally formed from colonialism and also native americans in the US have a far higher quality of life then the average citizen of cuba.

@xXfentanyl$banditXx America is also a colonialist country. Do you not know about native Americans still suffering cultural genocide to this day?
xXfentanyl$banditXx 26 Jul @ 8:35am 
@SappySantana no i dont support colonialism as im not european im american
SappySantana 22 Jul @ 5:18pm 
@xXfentanyl$banditXx Better to defend indigenous Africans even if communists, than invader colonizing Europeans who set up racial laws in other peoples continents. But you support that kind of thing huh

@Aiden22598 No tengo planes de otra actualización por el momento. Considero de que el mod se encuentra en un estado aceptable y no dispongo de más material para continuar añadiendo contenido.

@Cubanwave so essentially what your saying is cuba is know for funding terrorist organisations, teaching militant groups how to make use of military equipment, also teaching them how to torture people also oh good you sent cannon fodder to africa to defend a communist puppet you want a cookie?

@OutragrousN7 Es posible, pero requiere editar el archivo de la misión usando los recursos de este mod o crear una extensión del modo que añada la pre-co figuración para el antistasi. No estoy familiarizado con el Ultimate, así que no puedo asegurar nada Bro.
