Reply to comment by Foreverbanevading in Vasili Arkhipov (1960's). During the Cuban Missile Crisis a false alarm of nuclear war almost made a Soviet nuclear submarine near the U.S launch it's nukes. However the order for a launch needed 3 approvals and Arkhipov refused. by AdAway2224
Yeah, they were installing 40 of them of which 5 were operational when they started removing them.
The soviets could build slbms but none of them were operational during crisis. I mean, which subs do you think were operating?

Russian civil war is so crazy it sounds made up.
Dozens of countries involved and Czechoslovakia controlling half of russia with the noted handicap of not existing.

Castro invaded cuba with 50 guys and boat. And the first thing he did was sink the boat.
