Awfully small for 300 Kiloton’s! Nope. About the right size even for 1970's nuke design.

I often watched SRAM’s being loaded/unloaded from B-52’s in the mid to late 70’s while working security in the AF. The SRAM, with a variable yield of 17 Kilotons (fission) to 210 Kilotons (tritium boosted fusion) were significantly larger than the missle under this French jet.
