New York Timesthis week headlined"The Smaller Bombs That Could Turn Ukraine Into a Nuclear War Zone" also put further focus on how tactical nukes"can feed the illusion of atomic control when in fact their use can suddenly flare into a full-blown nuclear war."
"Russian tactical nuclear weapons have an estimated yield of between 10 to 100 kt [kilotons].

"So yes, even a 'small' nuclear bomb would be that bad," she wrote, and"this is without even going into how it can trigger full scale nuclear war."
