Good point, the first thermonuclear ‘device’ in the 1950s was the size of a small building though. The question might be whether they can miniaturise the first laser/d-t stage and use that to initiate a cascade of larger fusion stages, but my grasp of physics isn’t remotely sufficient to know if that’s possible.
rodan-
You can minimise the tech to a point but there are issues with energy source density and running lasers doesn't come energy cheap.
Edit:Unless you initiate a self sustaining fusion reaction that you allow to become uncontained, essentially arming the bomb at base.
This would likely still require a pretty hefty reactor at origin, so portable nuclear reactors on military bases?

Given the amount of energy required to compress the deuterium-tritium and initiate the reaction.
I think weaponising it would present some interesting challenges of packaging and deployment.
