oct 17, 1962 - Photos show evidence of long-range missiles

Description:

More photos of the missile sites are analyzed and show that Cuba also has long-range Soviet missiles. These missiles are capable of traveling 2,200 miles.

Photos that the Americans managed to get access to was a huge benefit for them because they could manage getting all kinds of information from these pictures which they were not supposed to know. I think that that helped them hugely in the events that came after.
