WI: No or Delayed Cuban Missile

The Cuban Missile crisis was the defining moment of the Kennedy administration, and it's conclusion it's greatest achievement. So what if 1962 passes without those missile installations being put into Cuba, and the Cuban missile crisis is therefore nonexistent or delayed?

The DAAFAR might ITTL be equipped with "just" IL-28s and Su-7B/BMs and free-fall bombs (soviet owned and controlled of course.) Which while still a potent threat aren't anywhere near as confrontational as Ballistic missiles are.

Cuban ground forces ITTL might also be larger and much more heavily armed, since there aren't as many implicit threats made by the soviets on their behalf.
