Nuclear Weapons 168 - Pakistan Announces Tactical Nuclear Weapons Develolpment
I have talked about tactical nuclear weapons in posts about the situation in Ukraine and Russian threats. Unlike the huge megaton nuclear weapons meant to annihilate cities, tactical nuclear weapons are intended for use on battlefields against tactical targets. There are many different designs for tactical nuclear weapons from warheads on short range missiles to mortar rounds fired from special guns. Their yields are in the hundreds of tons to thousands of tons of TNT equivalent.
