I was just reading the Pacific Fleet fan fiction and they mention Soviets making it to California and even LA.
Is there any canon support for Soviets in Mexico, much less the US outside of Alaska?

If Div Cuba is partnered with Mexico I could see cross attachments of some minor units. Perhaps their goal was to link up with GRU assets that were active in California during the war. |

Division Cuba isn't really Soviet in my mind but yeah...
The Pacific Fleet write up has a Soviet Guards Motor Rifle Division hitting the 91st outside of Escondido.

I'm pretty sure there's a Challenge Mag article about a Soviet unit operating on the CONUS east coast which is made up of POWs that escaped and were due to be ferried away by a Soviet sub, but the sub never arrived. IIR the unit has KGB or GRU with them coordinating things. I'm sorry to be so vague (I'm at work and don't have access to my Challenge Mags) but if I had to guess I reckon the article is in the first 50 issues.

Elements of the Northern Baltic or Arctic fleet shifted to the Pacific fleet to avoid the North Atlantic submariners convention? The Soviets have many, many icebreakers in different hull classes, so even arctic winter isn't a complete barrier.

the Soviets got a decent sized force into Alaska and western Canada (and got me how they got the forces in Canada considering that their Pacific Fleet is nothing compared to the US Pacific Fleet) and also have Division Cuba - which is a patched together motor rifle division compromising everything they had in Cuba - sent to Texas by Cuba using Mexican transport to avoid getting themselves nuked by the US - otherwise outside of KGB operatives and possible a few Spetsnaz teams thats it
the Pacific Fleet fan fiction has the Russians with more units than canon had them with - now could the Soviets have scrapped up another small unit to help the Mexicans - possibly but at most we are talking about a battalion or so of embassy guards, advisors, etc.. gathered from Central and South American countries (especially Peru and Nicaragua who you figure in version 1 stays under the Sandinistas and doesnt allow free elections) - but nothing like a second division |
