We often focus on the superpower leaders in October 1962, but the real danger lay in the thousands of Soviet troops on Cuban soil who didn't know a nuclear war was imminent. This episode explores the terrifying disconnect between Moscow’s diplomatic backchannels and the local military command under General Issa Pliyev. We examine how tactical nuclear weapons were deployed without explicit authorization for their use, creating a parallel crisis within the crisis. Listen as we trace the events of late October, when American naval blockades pushed Soviet commanders to the brink, and explore the fragile human decisions that prevented a catastrophic escalation. From the unauthorized launch of IL-28 bombers to the secret negotiations over Jupiter missiles, this is the story of how close we came to annihilation and the quiet heroes who held the line. #CubanMissileCrisis #IssaPliyev #October1962 #SovietUnion #NuclearWar #ColdWarHistory #FidelCastro #JohnFKennedy #NikitaKhrushchev #R12Missiles #IL28Bomber #TacticalNukes #CaribbeanCrisis #MilitaryHistory #Diplomacy #ExComm #JupiterMissiles #USSR #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
