What Are Tactical Nuclear Weapons, and How Might Russia Deploy Them on the Battlefield?Let’s explore how Russia might potentially deploy these weapons during the ongoing conflict.This map highlights the range of the ATACMS missile, a long-range precision weapon.The presence of these missiles in Ukrainian hands poses a significant threat to the Russian military, as they make airfields, bunkers, and ammunition storage facilities vulnerable to attack.In response to this escalation, Russia has issued threats to use tactical nuclear weapons in areas where HIMARS and ATACMS missiles are stationed.If, in a hypothetical scenario, the Russian army is forced to retreat due to Ukrainian advances or a successful counterattack,Russia may respond by launching Iskandar or Kinzhal missiles with Tactical Nukes warhead.These missiles are capable of striking targets located 100 to 200 miles away from the Russian border.Such a strike would be intended to disrupt Ukrainian reinforcements and logistics, cutting off their ability to sustain further operations.
