Military capacity of Turkey during the Cuban missile crisis (1962)?

score:3

We don't usually do people's homework assignments. However, I think you are on the wrong track when you ask about tanks and planes. Some things to read about:

Turkey was (and is) a NATO member. Turkey has an intense rivalry with fellow NATO member Greece.
There were US missiles in Turkey.
The US had used air bases in Turkey for recon flights over Communist countries.
Turkey controlled the Bosporus Strait, but there were international treaties regarding that control.

So it doesn't really matter how many tanks and how many soldiers there were. Using them against the Soviets would have started WWIII, but then that front would immediately have become a sideshow as the fighting spreads to central Europe.

The key question is how the Turkish player in the simulation stands regarding NATO and US use of Turkish bases.
