Maybe; that said, they'd be of little practical use in fighting this particular war; the Tu-22Ms are of little use in insurgency wars unless you want to carpet bomb people and that kind of looks bad.
It is also entirely possible to invade the territory of a nuclear-armed state and not invite a nuclear response because everyone knows it would be completely ridiculous to do that i.e. a certain war in the South Atlantic.
