Nuclear Tactical Weapons

Nuclear tactical weapons are smaller, short-range nuclear arms designed for use on the battlefield, rather than for large-scale strategic strikes against cities or nations. These weapons can include bombers, missiles, and artillery shells with lower yields than strategic nuclear weapons. They are intended to provide military forces with the ability to respond to enemy troops or installations with nuclear capability while limiting broader devastation. The existence and potential use of these weapons raise concerns about escalation in conflicts and the risks of nuclear warfare.
