The Davy Crockett was fired from a jeep mounted recoiless rifle and weighed around 50 pounds....and they could have made them much smaller.....and that was over half a century ago.
How small could nukes be now?
hold on....were’d I put that one....I swear I left it on this key chain.
I submit that we don’t know
I'm wondering if it isn't a convenient way to block further inspections. A sort-of the-dog-ate-my-homework thing, but more like "there was a horrible accident" "we're sorry, but the nuclear material is now forever buried". "drat the luck". "it was all for peaceable purposes, we were not trying to make a bomb", "so sorry, but no one can examine the materials now", etc...
