Tactical Nuke

A nuke that is used on the battlefield, probably delivered by gun or short range missile/ rocket.

The Spams invented one called DAVY CROCKETT (see American Military procurement mysteries) which was a nuke fired from a bazooka. See also Kamikaze, Operation CERTAIN DEATH, suicide and Factor 5 Million Sunscreen.
