The nukes sent to Cuba through Operation Anadyr were because

  1. The Soviets were responding to nuclear arms the US placed in Turkey and as a response to West Germany violating the agreed upon borders and placing a NATO base in East German territory, and

  2. To prevent a full-scale invasion of Cuba that the US was preparing for.
