I've heard all kinds of rumors over the years that the US and/or Russia (possibly others) have secretly fired tactical nukes in war, in places ranging from Iraq and Afghanistan to Ukraine.
However, a lot of these statements come from dubious sources, such as tinfoil-hat blogs, Malaysian Cartoon chatwebs, random YouTube vids that may or may not have been faked, and so on. (Not that I particularly trust the mainstream media these days any more than those sources.)
It seems to be a difficult thing to detrmine either way. Some accounts and images seem convincing.

no.

US used MOABs in the gulf and Russia thermobaric bombs in Checnya, both are pretty impressive

What would be the point? If you're a nuclear power involved in a conflict that has appropriate targets for tactical nukes, you'll also have air superiority, meaning that you can drop as many conventional bombs as you want.
The costs of deploying a tactical nuclear bomb and keeping it secret would far outweigh the added destructive power.
I hate it when /pol/ leaks.
