Did Soviet and American troops ever engage in direct combat at any point during the Cold War?

Question

If so, where and when ?

Answer 1

US destroyers depth charged Soviet submarines near Cuba, one sub nearly fired off their nukes but stopped as one of the 1st officers disobeyed his captain's orders...true story.

Oct. 27, 1962 - a Soviet submarine officer named Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov reportedly refused to comply with the launch of a nuclear warhead while apparently under attack by a U.S. warship near Cuba. In order to initiate such an attack, Soviet naval procedures stated that the captain and two other officers must concur. The other officer on duty agreed to the launch, but Arkhipov convinced the captain to wait for instructions from Moscow before proceeding. The orders never came and the world was saved from nuclear obliteration.

Answer 2

Yes. Post-War Occupied Berlin. Everything from one on one to
brawling groups of mixed private soldiers. The violence began when peace-keeping patrols or individual American, English, or French confronted Soviets mistreating German Nationals. Most
involved were combat veterans and untrained for mixed force military police duties as later would be the case in Korea. Death and injury resulted. Murdered personnel were found. Officers
learned how to enforce boundaries between east and west.

Answer 3

I would say the only occasions were when Soviet forces were disguised as foreign belligerents even when this was known by American forces.This was a method that could avoid an escalating direct confrontation whilst still influencing local conflicts.

Answer 4

Some Russians piloted North Korean planes in the Korean War.
