Yup but missile defense shields can act as a partial barrier in their operation. If something is as low flying as anti-tank missile then who's going to track that. Having got tactile nuclear weapons, there is an opportunity of entirely new range of weapons and a fundamental different usage strategy.
Until few years back, no one had thought of Nasr kind of missile and as it has arrived, it has changed the way we look at our defense. Who knows in next few years we see a soldiers carrying such tactile missiles. Its loud thinking but IMO possible.
I would highly disagree...
The tactical nukes come with a risk i.e. potential misuse because of some rogue element or misjudgement. The smaller they become, the greater is the chance of their misuse.
