Suitcase nukes are an urban myth.

Actually, not. Whether any are still functional is a question, but it would take major support to keep any of them ready to go. Whether the bad guys actually possess any is unknown. Anything is possible.

The 'weapons' were built as a demonstration platform. The russians could not keep the electronics shielded enough to last for more thank a vrey short period of time. Completely negating the sole purpose of the weapon. No one could carry the device without getting radiated.

If the primary objective of the project is unattanable the I see no reason to say they ever existed outside of the lab. I personally believe they are a product of a well crafted DISINFO campaign.
