It is my understanding that Russia has a full-fledged suitcase fusion (hydrogen) weapon. The fission warhead to trigger the fusion is the size of a grapefruit.

Never heard that. From what I know of the Russian "suitcase" nukes they are 1/4 to 1Kt in size fission devices. I believe the smallest thermonuclear fusion device is the US W88 warhead. The design the Chi-Coms tried to steal.
