Abstract
Ground Launch Cruise Missiles (GLCM) are the most obscure of the tactical nuclear weapons of the former Soviet Air Force. Deployed in small numbers, they were overshadowed by the Army's tactical ballistic missiles. Yet they present an intriguing mystery, as they represented the most numerous nuclear weapon deployed on Cuba during the 1962 Missile Crisis. Their presence on Cuba was not recognized by US intelligence at the time, nor in most accounts of the crisis since. This article provides the first detailed account in English of their development and deployment.
