Nuclear weapon an Islamic way to wage war?

[ARSENAL6]

Is it Islamic to have a nuke bomb and drop on a city where there are innocent civillains?

No its not

But if a nuke is used as derrent, a defence then I can't see any problem with it

Pray to ALlah that we never ever reach a stage that we use nukes as weapons.

ever heard of tactical nukes?

A tactical nuclear weapon (TNW) refers to a nuclear weapon which is designed to actually be used on a battlefield in military situations. This is as opposed to strategic nuclear weapons which are designed to threaten large populations or to generally deter attacks

The uses on the battlefield for TNWs would include:

* Against a large ground force

* Against a fortified underground bunker

* Against remote and/or heavily-defended target locations difficult or impossible to reach with conventional weapons

* Against a carrier fleet or any collection of surface vessels

* Against a large amphibious invasion force

Just to add to that

TNWs maybe used to destroy

*enemy nuclear plants

*nuclear missile silos

*command centres

Another question that nags me often is how do you draw the line between tactical and strategic nukes ? If you use a tactical nuke, why not just go all the way and conduct a full scale nuclear strike ? The enemy will anyways conduct a full scale retaliatory strike after suffering even a single nuclear attack, tactical or no tactical.

So whats the rationale and under what circumstances can a party limit the use of nukes only on the tactical level ?

Tactical nukes can be used against countries who do not have nuclear weapons. This is done when u want to take out a well protected high priority target without causing civilian casualities. Eg Israel or USA can use tactical nukes to take out Iranian nuclear plants.

Also tacticla nukes can be used if the location of enemy's nuclear weapons are pinpointed. if the enemy doesnt have too many nukes (in case of NK), and the location of existing nuclear missiles are pinpointed, then TNWs can be used to take out those nuclear missiles, thus preventing the enemy launching nukes
