It depends on the velocity, which in physics has both a direction and
magnitude, of the jets.

And again, it depends on the velocity, which in physics has both a
direction and magnitude, of the jets.

Jets have long been able to outrun an explosion, even nuclear given
enough lead, that is behind them.

You also need to know the characteristics of the warhead, which is
measured in overpressure versus distance from detonation.
