Yep, those Russians are just that stupid.

We don't know for sure, but there is a reasonable chance that up to 100 of those devices are missing. It is also knowns that Bin Laden has on multiple occasions attempted to purchase them, in one documented case laying out $5 Million of his own cash for that purpose. That outlay failed to get him what he wanted, but there continues to be the possibility.

While they might be highly degraded from a lack of maintenance, at the very least they would constitute the dirtiest of dirty nukes.

If anything is stupid, it is stupid to ignore the possibility.
