The pressure transducers are probably for determining the detonation altitude by atmospheric pressure. Certainly not something we want them to have.

"The pressure transducers are probably for determining the detonation altitude by atmospheric pressure."

Maybe, if proximity (radar) fuzes aren't used for that. Or maybe for guidance (exit, reentry, maneuvering, etc.).

"Certainly not something we want them to have."

Agreed. The knowledge might be useful for catching bad actors here, but apparently, the enemy does have what's needed for starting some trouble.
