Where in Europe there are tactical nuclear weapons - Deutsche Welle infographic

There are US military bases in Europe, where, according to some reports, tactical nuclear weapons are stored. Such weapons are mainly used for tactical operations and have a lower strike potential than strategic nuclear weapons.
Currently, tactical nuclear weapons are reportedly located in several NATO member countries, namely Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey.
However, it should be noted that the governments of these countries do not confirm or deny the presence of such weapons on their territory in accordance with the policy of "no one knows". This policy allows NATO member countries to avoid official statements about the presence of nuclear weapons on their territory, which contributes to maintaining stability and security in the region.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, many experts believe that tactical nuclear weapons are located on US military bases in these countries, and they can be used in crisis situations. Some political and military leaders in Europe have spoken out in favor of removing such weapons from their territory, but at present they continue to be located on military bases in Europe.
