Pentagon Revises Nuclear Strategy to Focus on Tactical Nukes

The US Department of Defense is revising its nuclear strategy to focus on shorter-range tactical nuclear weapons for potential regional conflicts with China or Russia. According to an NBC News report, Defense Department policy chief Elbridge Colby is drafting a classified framework that prioritizes these types of weapons.

This shift in strategy comes as the US seeks to adapt to emerging threats from major powers. The Pentagon's new approach aims to provide more flexibility and options for military leaders in the event of a conflict.

While details of the revised strategy are scarce, experts believe that the increased focus on tactical nuclear weapons reflects concerns about the growing capabilities of China and Russia in this area.
