    The engineering for plutonium nuke is not trivial. A U235 one is dead simple, but they probably have Plutonium from reactors, not U235 from centrifuges.

    And yeah, they undoubtedly have Soviet blueprints under a matress somewhere.

      Who do you think designed the Soviet nukes?

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharkiv_Institute_of_Physics_and_Technology

      The Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology was the “Laboratory no. 1” for nuclear physics, and was responsible for the first conceptual development of a nuclear bomb in the USSR.[3]: 4

      Russians are inbred drunk morons, which is why everything they tried since the fall has been disastrous, and why we haven’t seen su-57s and t-14s in actual combat while the semhat exploded on the pad and their own bombs rained on their soil.

      If the war goes on expect them to nuke Moscow by mistake.
