Military fast jets and thunderstorms

Gents,
I assume that with CB's - the practise in military fast jet flying is similar to civilian flying - avoid by diverting around, do not penetrate the cell or fly under and do not attempt to climb and fly over.
I assume that in actual combat conditions necessity may mean that some of those practises are waived.
Presumably, even though military airframes can tolerate higher g's than an airliner, finding oneself in close proximity to a CB in a jet like, say, an F-16 would be highly unpleasant due to the light wing loading...
