Sir I humbly submit that this is not a pic of 1998. PAF was not using this color scheme on C-130's at that time. The low visibility color scheme came in to vogue with re-ferb C-130's received after 2001 from US.

Furthermore, these F-16's seem to belong to Arrows who were, If I remember it correctly, tasked to provide CAP around the nuclear site. Griffins were the ones who escorted the nuclear devices.

Another point to note is the IFF fin antennas did not exists on Pakistani Block 15's at that time.

My 2C's worth

Operation Koh-e-Paima was impossible without the Army Aviation's efforts; countless recon missions across the LC, shifting of medium guns and casualty evacuation in hostile territory.
