Non-strategic nuclear exercises are being held in Russia's southern theater of operations, and Belarus will also intervene as a second stage.

When you talk about holding non-strategic nuclear weapons exercises, you pointed out, for example, that there is nothing unusual about it, it is just a normal exercise. Belarus and Russia will participate in the second phase of the exercise with tactical nuclear weapons. At the same time, Lukashenko pointed out that tactical nuclear weapons are a means of deterrence for Russia and Belarus, and they are not aimed at third countries.

We need to emphasize to you that strategic nuclear weapons are aimed at strategic targets, tactical nuclear weapons are aimed at tactical targets, tactical targets are also called battlefield targets, and tactical nuclear weapons are also called battlefield nuclear weapons, that is, weapons that can be used on the battlefield, which we call tactical nuclear weapons.

Tactical nuclear weapons, then, are relatively low-yield, and are mainly concentrated on striking military targets. For example, your tank clusters and missile bases can be the target of tactical nuclear weapons, including neutron bombs, which are more effective if they strike at a tank cluster, but the lethality of personnel is conceivable, so these are what we call tactical nuclear weapons. So what are the Russian nuclear weapons as tactical nuclear weapons? The Iskander missile is capable of carrying tactical nuclear warheads, and the Iskander missile, which has been deployed in Belarus, can be swapped for tactical nuclear warheads to carry out effective strikes.

In addition, as far as Russia is concerned, tactical nuclear weapons also include "Caliber" missiles launched from surface ships or submarines, which are also tactical nuclear weapons, and there are many types of tactical nuclear weapons. Thirdly, for example, the Tu-22 strategic bomber, which can also launch cruise missiles and carry tactical nuclear warheads, is itself one of the means of using tactical nuclear weapons. Including the well-known Dagger missile, Zircon missile, which is called hypersonic missile, these missiles can also carry tactical nuclear warheads to carry out tactical nuclear strikes.

Therefore, Russia's so-called nuclear exercises refer to the exercises of these weapons and equipment that I have mentioned to you here, which is a weapon that can be used on the battlefield - nuclear weapons, and once this weapon is used, it will also cause a nuclear war. Therefore, although tactical nuclear weapons and strategic nuclear weapons are not called by the same name, as long as nuclear weapons are used, they will inevitably attract universal condemnation from the international community. The world does not need a nuclear war, either tactical or strategic.
