We have confirmation
the Soviets have also deployed

1:48:03
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba
1:48:05
FROGS, we call them
1:48:06
Short- range tactical nukes
1:48:08
We don't know whether
they've delegated release authority

1:48:11
to their local commanders
for use on our invasion troops

1:48:14

1:49:37

1:49:50
Hello? Anyone there?
1:49:52
