Russian MOD says military personnel is being increased by 170,000 partly (but explicitly) in response to US deployment of B61-12 thermonuclear guided gravity tactical nuke in Europe. The B61-12 as of 2020, underwent a 12th modification at $28 million per boom. Approx 400 were produced. The B61-12 can be set for airburst or groundburst detonation, and by free fall, retarded free fall or laydown delivery through the use of a parachute to slow down the weapon during release from the delivery aircraft.

Given various reports on the staggering death tolls, the real reason is probably to get more bodies for Putin’s war in Ukraine.
Take with grain of salt, but damn that's a lot of casualties!
