The recent Iran-Isreal would be a case study in this. Iran has zero aircrafts attacking or defending. Isreal has just ballistic/cruise missiles to contend with and can launch their payload without much opposition (even with supposed S300 batteries).

I guess it can always jettison the external jugs and dump some fuel. I was more concerned about that AsHM hitting the deck. It looked way lower than other pylons. Must be optical illusion based on the photo angle.
