<br />
The article gives two different figures for the number of Soviet nuclear warheads on Cuba at the time of the crisis, and the two figures cannot be reconciled.<br />
<br />
In the Resolution section, the article states: "the Soviets already had 162 nuclear warheads on Cuba that the US did not know were there."<br />
<br />
In the Nuclear forces section, the article states: "They had already moved 158 warheads to Cuba and between 95 and 100 would have been ready for use if the US had invaded Cuba."<br />
<br />
Both passages describe the total number of Soviet nuclear warheads that had been transported to Cuba by October 1962. The figures are 162 and 158 — a discrepancy of four warheads. Since both are stated as precise integer counts of the same stockpile, they cannot both be correct, and the article provides no explanation for the discrepancy.
