They would of had to embark on a top secret mission to a remote location, used a 300 mile long cable to start experimenting. They had no nuclear program of their own, just a few unlucky shop maintenance guys.



It would have been trial and error, reverse engineering. Once they figured it out, reprograming the rest would have been easy.

Necessity is the Mother of invention. Look no further then Iran or North Korea as examples. Thinking of the capabilities and incentives of Ukraine who knows where they could of gone.
