Tactical Nuclear Weapons

Tactical nuclear weapons are small-scale nuclear devices designed for use on the battlefield, aiming to target specific military objectives such as enemy troop concentrations, supply lines, or fortified positions. They have a lower explosive yield than strategic nuclear weapons tied to large-scale destruction and long-term effects. Tactical nukes can be delivered by various platforms like artillery, missiles, or aircraft. They are intended for limited, localized use to achieve tactical advantages during conflicts, but their deployment carries significant risks, including escalation to larger nuclear wars.
