The Kremlin has considered a broad range of scenarios for when the country should go nuclear, leaked Russian military files obtained by The Financial Times showed.The 29 leaked files pertain to tactical nuclear weapons and are dated from 2008 to 2014, meaning they're at least 10 years old. The weapons described in the files are meant for specific battlefield targets, and are not the intercontinental-range warheads aimed at wiping out entire cities.
Per the FT, one scenario involves using tactical nuclear weapons to stop China from pushing further into Russia with 'second-echelon units,' a term that typically refers to a second invasion wave that would support and reinforce an initial assault.Such documents indicate that Russia has considered an attack from China even as Beijing and Moscow continued to build close diplomatic ties in the 21st Century.
