Operation Anadyr
Operation Anadyr (Russian: «Анадырь») was the code name used by the Soviet Union for their Cold War (1962) secret operation of deploying ballistic missiles, medium-range bombers, and a division of mechanized infantry in Cuba to create the army group that would be able to prevent an invasion of the island by U.S. forces. The overall plan (after adjustment) was to deploy approximately 60,000 personnel in support of the main missile force consisting of three R-12 missile regiments and two R-14 missile regiments. However, part of it would be foiled by its discovery by the US, prompting the Cuban Missile Crisis.
