why nuclear tactical weapons are completely out of question in Ukraine
Nuclear weapon.Firstly, it will do little from a military point of view.Destroying cities along with the population with powerful ammunition deprives the whole operation of sense, in addition, there is every reason to believe that a brave but very stupid enemy, with a high readiness for suffering, will not be broken by this.
With a high degree of probability, we will see mass demonstrations of people with targets on their chests, shouting something like “come on Putin, kill me too” at Western media cameras, raising their children to the sky, also with targets and asking to drop a nuclear bomb on them as well, since the Russians are such beasts.
From a military point of view, nuclear weapons are not all that powerful.When a 5 kiloton tactical ammunition hits a dug-in battalion, a large scorched zone is created in the center of its positions, but the soldiers on the flanks and in the near rear largely survive and even retain their combat capability.
A dug-in soldier 4-5 kilometers from the epicenter who did not fall under the light radiation will simply be stunned for a short time, and partially lose his hearing, but he will be able to shoot immediately.An attack on foot through the epicenter of such an explosion is possible in 20 minutes.
Tanks will retain their combat capability as close as 1.5-2 kilometers from the epicenter, and will be able to open fire on detected targets immediately.
At the same time, the environmental damage from these strikes will not go anywhere, both they and we will catch radiation sickness, but it will begin to manifest itself in two weeks.
All these things are well known to savvy people, but the population still gasps and groans at the thought of nuclear bombs.

What goals are really worth the nuclear warhead spent on them!Air base. An important and well-defended bridge in foreign territory, in territory that will never be Russian. These are very important caveats.
Also naval targets - ships and detachments of ships.
The accumulation of enemy troops, with overwhelming numerical superiority and in conditions where there is nothing left to restrain them, and yes - in territory that will never be Russian . But this is already an emergency.
A typical task for tactical nuclear weapons is to take out Japanese air bases for a time sufficient for our airborne troops to land on the Kuril islands and deploy for a counteroffensive against the Japanese who captured them.
In Ukraine, the use of nuclear weapons is not only useless, it is harmful even for our troops there, and it will not do any good. A nuclear bomb thrown onto a forest, in which the radio exchange of the Ukrainian battalion is recorded, will kill a company or two.
That's it, Nuclear war is a completely different war.Those who still have some illusions about nuclear weapons should, if possible, discard them.It is impossible to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine under any circumstances, this is pure idiocy, extremely dangerous for ourselves.
With some pathos, it, in principle, fully gives an understanding that it is not at all easy to kill a little man in a green uniform and a helmet with a nuclear bomb.
