In the Cuban outpost where Menendez was talking to Kravchenko on the radio, a portrait of Castro is seen next to a Cuban flag. While the Tropas are seen in Angola, Castro himself does not appear. In the beginning of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Jason Hudson mentions Castro in reference to the Cuban soldiers and the Russian forces being all over Angola, preventing the CIA from going in to extract Woods. Mason is later captured by Lev Kravchenko and several Tropas soldiers, and Castro turns him over to Nikita Dragovich at the Rusalka. When trying to escape in an airplane from Cuba, they are faced by a blockade and Mason is forced to jump off to help cover the escape of the rest of the Op 40 members on the mission. Mason successfully kills a double who they believed to be Castro, but it is later revealed in the same mission by Castro himself that Mason killed a double. Castro appears in the mission " Operation 40", where Mason, Woods, and Bowman's mission is to assassinate Fidel Castro.
