If stockpiles of tactical nuclear weapons are reduced, as some US, European, and Russian experts have proposed, the opponents of Russia’s ongoing military reform will have even more reason to object to reconfiguring the country’s conventional armed forces away from confrontation with NATO toward a flexible-response capability vis-à-vis other threats.
如果战术核武器的库存如同一些美国，欧洲和俄罗斯专家所建议的那样被削减的话，那些目前反对俄军军队改革的人就更有理由去反对俄军常规军事力量由跟北约对抗转向针对其他威胁的灵活反应能力。
