This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

AGM-88 has a range of 88 nm, it's a homing missile requiring the threat radar to lock/track the fighter - the S-300 missile range is 160 nm - mach 7
Curvature of the earth makes a ships mast disappear at what, 12 miles?

Those outmost ranges require the targets to fly higher. I don’t expect Ukrainians to oblige much.

For your AD radar to do you my good it needs to be on. So NATO ELINT aircraft are constantly monitoring and mapping out the Russians air defenses.

We sent 6 EA-18G Growlers to Germany back in March.

The West needs to have their plan laid out in the event this happens.
And let Putin understand what those ramifications will be.

They should already be deporting ALL Russians back to Russia. Particularly the rich oligarch-related ones. Round 'em up, if they're in the posh resorts of the world. We have a Navy, use it and forcibly send these folks back.
