Most analysts consider non-strategic weapons to be shorter-range
delivery systems with lower yield warheads that might be used to
attack troops or facilities on the battlefield. These weapons have
a lower profile in policy debates and arms control negotiations,
possibly because they do not pose a direct threat to the
continental United States. This book provides basic information
about U.S., Russian, North Korean and Pakistani nuclear weapons. It
begins with a brief discussion of how these weapons have appeared
in public debates in the past few decades, then summarises the
differences between strategic and non-strategic nuclear weapons.
Historical background is discussed, describing the numbers and
types of non-strategic nuclear weapons deployed during the Cold War
by the U.S. and Russia, and in the past decade; the policies that
have guided the deployment and prospective use of these weapons;
and the measures taken to reduce and contain them. Also discussed
is what is known about North Korea's nuclear weapons program and
Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
