Absolutely not. Using of tactical nukes against ground targets in Europe and against aircraft carriers in the sea came from the old Soviet defense doctrine. I mean this is not something new which was invented by your lovely Putin. In fact its the only purpose of the tactical nuclear weapon and yes, Russia has the biggest tactical nuke arsenal on the planet. Nothing personal, just a business
P.S. Don't worry. Tactical nukes are not as powerful as the strategic ones. For example,
Tochka - the one which should be used to eliminate the US missile defense complex in Poland delivers a nuke of 100 kilotons only (just about 4x times more powerful than the one which was dropped to Hiroshima).
