As a counter measure, the Soviet Union developed tens of thousands of ICBM with multiple nuclear warheads to be detonated near the United States to create the phenomenon called 'Nuclear Winter' in North America due to the radioactive nuclear residues that blocked could block out the sun in Northern America. They shipped 561 SS4-Sandal SSM to Cuba as a first step.
