Russian tactical nuclear weapons will not be effective on battlefield - military expert Prytula

He expressed this opinion on the Espreso TV channel

"The use of tactical nuclear weapons has a small radius of destruction. That is, a complete destruction of 25 kilotons will be somewhere within a radius of 100 meters. In their exercises, they can use a nuclear charge on a conditional stronghold. This does not solve the problem of the Russians. On the contrary, it will create much more problems for them," Prytula explained.

The expert noted that tactical nuclear weapons will not have any military effectiveness for Russia

"The use of tactical nuclear weapons will create a lot of economic and foreign policy problems for the Russians. That is why Russia focuses on its special services and special operations rather than on the use of nuclear weapons. Because there will be no military effectiveness of tactical nuclear weapons for the Russians," he added.

• On May 6, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced military exercises to practice the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The relevant order was issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
