#2 Practically speaking, the achievable weight of a nuclear weapon that a 3rd world country could put on a missile is a little over 1000lb. From that point it is a missile tech problem.

Both Nork and Iran have long had missiles that could carry half a ton. The real villainy comes when Russia and others provide them with more advanced missile tech to help them penetrate anti-missile defenses.
