Mirages and F-16s, were actually readied to be used for nuke dropping with an innovative and quick solution to encase the nuke in external fuel tank like shell. Pakistan was surprisingly quick in not only achieving the nuclear capability but also to design a light weight deliverable device while india was still hugging its 4-tonne crude, inefficient and undeliverable test device.

We faced the Soviet threat. The Indians did not. B-57's were prepared for one way missions to Moscow, this they could just about do.

Poor. B-57 did have the range to hit C Asia and parts of Siberia, but a one way Moscow trip was pushing it,
And while USSR AD were pretty poor in that region likely plane would have been shot down.

It was basically a hail Mary.
