You make a good point. However, the Hiroshima bomb was not that sophisticated. A TNT explosion slamming two masses of U-235 together. The real hard part was separating the 235 from the 238. Amazing that we were able to do that almost 80 years ago.

The real hard part was arming the thing in flight.
