Russian President Vladimir Putin Could Be Planning To Nuke ISIS In Syria

Vladimir Putin casually dropped nuclear weapons into conversation while discussing Syria. Russia have carried out multiple air strikes in Syria, and Putin claims his TU-22 bombers have caused ‘significant damage’ to an Islamic State munitions depot, an oil facility and other key targets.
Talking about Russia’s military campaign in Syria, Putin mentioned the weapons currently being used could ‘be equipped with special nuclear warheads.’

‘Both the Calibre missiles and the Kh-101 rockets are generally showing very good results. We now see that these are new, modern and highly effective high-precision weapons that can be equipped either with conventional or special nuclear warheads,’ 
Putin said during a meeting with Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. He however did not reveal concrete plans to use nuclear weapons – but he didn’t exactly rule it out either. Metro UK
