That's not the issue. The issue is control. I don't think the Russian ceded the control of nuclear weapons to Cubans. Even if the Cubans overran the missile bases and got physical control over the missiles, they still wouldn't have been able to launch them.

Kennedy planned the invasion of Cuba, not being aware that Cuba was in possession of tactical nukes

Going by WIkipedia, that's false.
