A 13 day political military
When the U.S. discovered Soviet missiles in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, President John F. Kennedy implemented a naval blockade, termed a "quarantine," to prevent further shipments of military equipment to Cuba. He also demanded the removal of the missiles and prepared for potential military action. The crisis heightened tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but ultimately, diplomatic negotiations led to the Soviets agreeing to dismantle the missiles in exchange for a U.S. promise not to invade Cuba and the secret removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey.
The Soviets (Russians) removed their missiles from Cuba.
The placement of U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey is thought to have provoked the Cuban Missile Crisis. Missiles in Turkey were close enough to strike Moscow, so Russia placed armaments in Cuba, which was within striking distance of U.S. soil. The Missile Crisis, began on October 14th 1962. Robert Kennedy said, during negotiations with the Russians that the missiles would be removed within a short time after the crisis ended. The Missile Crisis ended on October 28th of 62 and the missiles were quietly taken out of turkey some time after April 24th 1963.
President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove the missile base from Cuba. He also ordered a US air and naval blockade of Cuba to prevent Soviet arms shipments from reaching Cuba. He prepared to invade Cuba in case Khrushchev did not withdraw his missiles. He made an agreement with Khrushchev at the last minute: Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba, ordered his ships to turn back to Soviet Union; Kennedy promised not to put missiles in Turkey, near the Soviet border. After this agreement Kennedy lifted the blockade and promised not to invade Cuba.
The closest we came to a nuclear confrontation with Russia that I know of, was under John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Blockade in 1962.
Underestimating President Kennedy.
President John F. Kennedy ordered Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to withdraw Soviet missiles from Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. This demand was made after the U.S. discovered the presence of these missiles, which posed a direct threat to American security. Kennedy emphasized the need for immediate removal to avoid further escalation and potential conflict. Ultimately, Khrushchev agreed to withdraw the missiles in exchange for a U.S. pledge not to invade Cuba and the removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey.

If you are asking about the missiles in Cuba they were discovered by the use of spy planes and people on the ground. A spy plane flew over and shot pictures of the silos for the missiles. The people on the ground confirmed that they were there. Kennedy told Russia that they had to remove the missiles and the result was the Cuban Missile Crisis.
