Yes, but not where you live. So you're safe.
Stealth fighters. Fighters capable of locking onto an enemy, and firing long range missiles on them, before the enemy even knows you're there.
any where on the planet
yes
Nuclear missiles can travel thousands of kilometers, with some intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching targets on the other side of the world. The exact range depends on the specific missile and its design.
The Kennedy administration first learned of the shipment of missiles to Cuba in late August 1962, with more detailed information emerging in early September. Initially, they believed that the Soviets were sending intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) capable of striking targets in the United States. This intelligence led to heightened tensions and ultimately the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
Muskets, swords pistols knives and long range ballistic missiles ( kidding about the missiles)
Yes, it was because of the missiles range and how close it was to the U.S.A.
In 1962, the world learned that there was a build up of medium range missiles and missile bases in Cuba. U2 spy planes actually photographed the missiles and the bases.
Short range ballistic missiles
During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, the Soviet Union had deployed medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) in Cuba, which could strike targets in the southeastern United States, including cities like Miami and Washington, D.C. These missiles had a range of approximately 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers (about 620 to 930 miles). In addition to MRBMs, the Soviets also had intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) with ranges of up to 3,500 kilometers (about 2,175 miles), capable of reaching the entire continental U.S. from Cuba. This significant military presence escalated tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, leading to a critical standoff.
Missiles with intercontinental range, such as ICBMs, can reach major US cities across the country, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Additionally, shorter-range ballistic missiles could target cities within a specific region. The exact range depends on the missile type and the launch location, but generally, most major urban centers are within the strike range of various missile systems.
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) can travel distances of up to 10,000 kilometers or more depending on the specific missile design. These missiles are capable of reaching targets on the other side of the world, making them a key component of long-range strategic weapons systems.
