At first sight I read 'nuclear' instead of 'not clear' and I got scared. Then I though about it again and... sadly it could also be true.
Why? ICBMs can be launched and strike their targets within 15 minutes.
Even when slow, a relatively small, high altitude, no refueling, low heat signature plane with a small tactical weapon could be interesting for... reasons.
You underestimate the value and strategic purpose of second strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_strike
