Actually using a weapon like this has war crimes written all over it. It is hard to imagine that they could achieve a low enough level of civilian collateral damage to argue that they took steps to avoid non-military targets.
Something like this would have been acceptable before WW2, but nowadays the world expects more. A weapon like this is a "deterrent" type of weapon like a nuke and not something that would be used in convention combat.
I'm not sure what the history is with Russia and proliferation though.
