The first fire (literally) went Havana. Russian forces in Cuba could no longer threaten the United States, but they were sufficient to disarm the humble Cuban army, which the Russians could no longer be sure of. The more they could not count on the civilian population.

And since they could not handle the US, they decided to make up at least this "success", ie the occupation of Cuba. By the way, it was the simple fact that it was Castro who was the first ally in the attack on Florida, and from the Cuban bases, a year ago, Russian planes took off.

This condition, 200 kilometers from the American shores, could not last long. Especially in Cuba there was still a supply of Russian rockets that were not used during the US combat. That is why Washington decided to land on the Cuban border.
