The day before, President Vladimir Putin had made a veiled threat to drop nuclear bombs if "regional integrity" was threatened. The United States and its Western allies are shaken by this. There has been a lot of discussion among themselves as to how they will respond.
President Putin said in a televised speech last Wednesday that he is not kidding about the (possible) use of nuclear bombs if his country's territory is threatened. He spoke at a time when he announced a new partial military mobilization to fight in Ukraine. As a result, Moscow can send 300,000 reserve troops to the country.
"Those who are trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the wind can turn in their direction. It's not a hoax," said Putin.
Analysts do not believe that Putin would be the first person to order the bombs to be dropped again since the United States dropped atomic bombs on two Japanese cities in 1945. Talked with some experts and officials.
What would a Russian nuclear attack look like?
Analysts say Moscow could keep one or more "tactical" or battlefield nuclear bombs ready if the scenario for a nuclear attack is created.
Compared to the US's largest 'strategic' weapon of 1.2 megatons or the 58 megaton bomb tested by Russia in 1961, the 'tactical' nuclear bomb is a weapon with an explosive power of 0.3 kilotons to 100 kilotons.
Tactical bombs are designed to have limited effects on the battlefield. On the other hand, strategic nuclear weapons are developed with the aim of conducting and winning an all-out war.
However, the words 'small' and 'limited' are relative. For example, the atomic bomb that the United States dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, was only 15 kilotons. But the effect was disastrous.
Moscow's target may be
Analysts say Russia's use of tactical nuclear bombs in Ukraine would aim to intimidate the country into surrender or compromise and drive a wedge between Western countries that support the country.
Mark Kancian is a military expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, USA. He said that probably Russia will not use nuclear weapons in frontal battle.
A Russian occupation of 20 miles (32 km) may be necessary to drop multiple nuclear bombs. Less than that would make the area too vulnerable to use a nuclear bomb.
