Pentagon shifts to tactical nuclear weapons — what it means for Poland and NATO

The Pentagon is preparing a new nuclear strategy placing greater emphasis on low-yield tactical nuclear weapons, championed in part by Elbridge Colby. The doctrine aims to strengthen US deterrence credibility against Russia and China in limited-scale conflicts. For Poland and other NATO allies, the shift carries significant implications for the Nuclear Sharing programme, which governs the deployment and use of tactical nuclear weapons in Europe.
