Why would a Nike even need nuke capability? Would those Russian planes (Badgers, I think they were), fly in a formation tight enough for a nuke to be effective? I guess the flash alone would incapacitate the pilots, then the heat from the blast take them down, not to mention the EMP blast, but I'm not privvy to the high-altitude effects of nukes, other than the EMP.

Am I stuck on stoopid here?
