Very interesting. During the crisis the alternative to the blockade was an airstrike. Did you ever find out how many of these warheads were operational when the decision was made to blockade?

You know what's even more interesting? Putting all that stuff there was just a reaction by the USSR to the USA putting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGM-19_Jupiter into Turkey and Italy.
Compare the distances from there to the former borders of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact on a globe and see why.

Tit for tat, so to speak.
