That's because the figure I quoted was for the first F-16s that entered service back in 1985. In the last twenty years, they've been improved a lot, and the latest Block 60 fighters have a afterburner thrust of 142kN.

Smaller nuclear weapons are surprisingly ineffective against hardened armored vehicles like tanks and APCs. A tactical nuclear weapon of about 10 kilotons will only destroy tanks within a few dozen meters of ground zero. Outside of that radius, they may not be in the best of shape afterwards, but they have a good chance of surviving. Infantry, on the other hand will be in big trouble anywhere within a couple of kilometers of the blast. I'm not sure how well Knightmare Frames would hold up, but they should be a lot better protected than infantry.
