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.
