This has been repeated so many times but the enriched uranium is far more vulnerable in transport.

Most modern goods are valuable and hard to replace because of their mechanical or chemical properties, and so blowing them up destroys the value.

My understanding is that U-235 is not like that, blowing it up accomplishes very little when recovery consists of what they'd already be doing to clear the debris, plus some mechanical and chemical separation.
