Some points, an Atomic device at it's infant technological state weighs somewhere around two metric tonnes.
Miniturization of the bomb can only be started after knowing how much material can be pressurized into a cake without going critical meaning you need past data or do it through try and error.
The present scud type missle can not deliver two tonnes.
An ill shielded bomb will light up like a shining star to a satellite searching for gamma ray radiation.
