When it comes to the war in Ukraine, there is no shortage of questions that need answering - and it’s hard to think of any that one would call a “dumb question.” In this iteration of our video series, “No Dumb Questions,” Grid’s Global Security Reporter Joshua Keating takes up this one: “What is a tactical nuke?”
From the moment Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine and made the case for his “Special Military Operation,” he also went out of his way to remind the world of the size and scope of Russia’s nuclear arsenal, and his willingness to use it. “If anyone decides to meddle in ongoing events and create unacceptable strategic threats for Russia,” he warned in April, “they must know our response will be lightning-quick. We have all the instruments for this, ones nobody else can boast of. And we will use them, if we have to.”

Best explanation by far. Thank you

I think it would be easier for people to understand if you made the distinction: A tactical weapon affects the enemy’s ABILITY to fight. A strategic weapon affects the enemy’s WILL to fight.

Unfortunately, this moron has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what he is talking about. “Tactical Weapons” are mobile weapons (it has absolutely NOTHING to do with what they could strike). It simply means they are “tactical” and “mobile” and could be moved or hidden. “Strategic” weapons are fixed positions. Missile silos would be an example of a “strategic” nuclear weapon. Nuclear armed submarines or mobile vehicles armed with nuclear weapons are an example of “tactical” (or “field”) weapons that can be moved around, are not easy to track and are difficult to find / track / destroy. Both the United States and Russia have a wide variety of both “strategic” and “tactical” nuclear weapons, but the name “tactical” or “strategic” nuclear weapon have absolutely nothing to do with who/what they could be used to attack or hit or destroy. Now attacks and target planning on the other hand could be “tactical” or “strategic” but that is completely different and has absolutely nothing to do with which weapons are used.
