Due to upgraded nuclear arsenals, aggressive resistance to management of climate changes, and failure of leaders to adequately address these matters, the Doomsday Clock is now moved forward to three minutes to midnight. (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: Timeline)
American aggression, heavily-promoted by Republicans and weakly-resisted by Democrats, is the single largest cause of the revival of the arms race as the count for strategic nukes remains at fifteen hundred on each side and has been there for quite some time. How many tactical nukes (i.e. battlefield weapons) exist is unknown and there doesn't appear to be much, if any, accounting.
There is a shoulder-fired nuke which is probably the most overtly-suicidal weapon of all time as you may kill the bad guy but you'll burn with him. There are nukes that can be launched from tanks, etc, etc. These kinds of weapons are what started the recent resurgence of Pentagon talk about a nuclear war being survivable. Nukes will be limited to the battlefield theater, they say. However, the wind makes everywhere a part of that theater.
Here's what comes after they start using the tactical nukes:
