Yara, those fabled "suitcase" bombs already had that much yield, what happened to them by the way?
I would call BS on that. Nukes are not chump change to throw around. Israel is one of the supposed developers of such a system and while the Israelis maybe very macho and all I highly doubt that their near mythical bravery extends to stuffing nukes into suitcases- besides those were like less than 1 KT rated last I checked. The soviets and the Americans did go in for very miniaturized warheads like the RA-115 (Soviet variant which was the suitcase nuke the GRU defector Stanislav Lunev mentioned) and the SADM which could be carried in a specialized backpack* (1KT yield). The real boss would have been the W82-1 artillery shell nuke with a 2 KT yield at a weight of 43 Kg or so.

@Oscar Sir don't ruin our fun. Me and @Hyperion plan to create an empire over the ashes of the nuked out subcontinent and currently everything is going as per our plans- well aside from sinking Bangladesh- that part of the plan seems to be taking time. @Secur you shall join us I presume?
