“And if they will be a moment when the use of tactical nuke will get great tactical gain and save lifes of Russian soldiers then commanders will use them 100%.”
Ah, so there does NOT have to be an existential threat to Russia before Russia resorts to the use of nukes.===
First off what is an existencial treat Russia will decide not you.
And you don’t understand the doctrine. It is about usage of Strategic Nuclear Forces right away. Meaning she will not use a townbuster warheads at first place of course. That what they say in a doctrine. It is about not all nukes but only big ones like 100KT and more. Got now?
But those low-yield shells like 1Kt or less and strictly on a battlefield or near front line why not? It just like any other explosives but stronger. And not against anything around but against hardened targets or targets of big value and so on.
And using this warheads will counter the NATO superiority in numbers.
DO you remember how during Cold War 1 NATO responded on Soviet Union numbers superiority in troops and tanks? They deployed more nuke missiles. Remember Pershing missiles?
SO similar way here. Now NATO has number superiority so Russia must react accordingly.
“First off what is an existencial treat Russia will decide not you.”
To sentient human beings, an existential threat is a direct threat to continued existence. But, I suppose to Russia an existential threat could be nothing more than a fart in its general direction.
“And you don’t understand the doctrine.”
Oh, I very much understand the doctrine. It addresses first use of NUCLEAR weapons, tactical AND strategic. There are different criteria to their respective use.
“Meaning she will not use a townbuster warheads at first place of course.”
Your comment is just shy of being coherent. But I assume that is due to your unfamiliarity with the English language.
But I commend you for trying to converse intelligently in a language not your own.
What I THINK you are saying is that Russia will not use a strategic nuclear weapon in a first-strike attack. I think Russia knows it would be a suicidal act to do so.
“It is about not all nukes but only big ones like 100KT and more. Got now?”
You’re wrong. This article addresses that:

“But those low-yield shells like 1Kt or less and strictly on a battlefield or near front line why not? It just like any other explosives but stronger.”
How naïve you are. It is a WMD, the use of which in Ukraine would be a profound escalation, and condemned worldwide, ESPECIALLY since there is no existential threat to Russia from Ukraine.
“DO you remember how during Cold War 1 NATO responded on Soviet Union numbers superiority in troops and tanks? They deployed more nuke missiles. Remember Pershing missiles?”
I remember them very well. But the key word there is DEPLOYED. There is a light-year’s difference between DEPLOYED and LAUNCHED or FIRED or USED.
“SO similar way here. Now NATO has number superiority so Russia must react accordingly.”
I repeat my comment in the sentence above: There is a light-year’s difference between DEPLOYED and LAUNCHED or FIRED or USED.
