My Nuke-Worry Scenario

 Shocker?  The Russian Defense Minister (Shoigu) came today and said that Ukraine has some program to develop a nuke weapon and use it on Russia.

BS factors?  Well....I'd give a '3'....mostly because I think that even three PhD nuke scientists could easily sit down in a week....draw the basic plan, and in six months....easily put together a nuke weapon of some type.  Now....if you asked.....could it be on a missile?  No.  On a rocket?  Probably not.  I'm just talking about a standard nuke bomb on a fighter....dragged off to some point and 'dumped' to explode.

My question?  Is it just now that Russia woke up and realized that it doesn't take that much to develop a nuke, and that this whole war thing could get really 'nasty' in a matter of a week?  Seriously.....now they worry about this?

My scenario would be that Russia does the nuke bomb (tactical) thing, and believes that this will scare the Ukrainians in some way.....waking up seven days later with three nuke explosions within the Russian territory, and one of them on the outer 'loop' of Moscow.

At that point, the whole 'blast-them' mentality will take off, and a dozen tactical nukes will be used on Ukraine.....with three or four additional nukes on Russia.  

Where would the stopping point be, and how would the general public in Russia react?  Would five-million Russians now be freaked out and trying to find some exit to the west.....out of Russia?
