"Moscow may perceive a NATO nuclear response to lack credibility"

Tuesday, March 1st, 2022

"While the U.S. and Russia have a similar number of deployed strategic (i.e., high-yield) nuclear weapons as limited under New START, Russia has a 10:1 advantage over us [USA/NATO] in nonstrategic (i.e., low-yield) nuclear weapons — aka tactical or battlefield nukes"

"Today, while open-source numbers are fuzzy, Russia has about 2,000 nonstrategic nuclear weapons, while the U.S. has about 200 total — with half in the U.S. and half in Europe as part of NATO."

[...]

"The idea is Russia might employ one (or more) tactical nuclear weapon during a conventional conflict with NATO forces to prevent a defeat, consolidate gains, or even freeze a conflict in place without further fighting."

"Because the disparity between Russian and U.S. tactical nuclear weapons is so large, Moscow may perceive a NATO nuclear response to lack credibility."

NOT ONLY WARHEADS BUT DELIVERY SYSTEMS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT EDGE TO THE RUSSIAN?

With the removal of USA atomic weapons from Turkey ONLY NATO partners Great Britain, Holland, Italy, Belgium and Holland have "tactical" warheads stored in nuclear vaults ready for action?
