Nope, the Soviet missiles were withdrawn as the US demanded.

I don't wish to appear to join the loony "good old days of the Reich" side
of this discussion, but the Cuban missile crisis was such a clear-cut US
victory, since Kennedy negotiated the removal of the Russian missiles by
offering to remove his own from Turkey.


Sure but they were early liquid fueled IRBM's (Jupiter IRC) that were
removed
from service worldwide by 1963 in any event.
