WWIII air defence over Europe was supposed to have a forward zone of attack helicopters,A10, Frogfoots etc then a missile belt then an air defence zone patrolled by F15s . Maybe the Ukrainians could establish a missile belt and inch it forward, the Russians would do the same over their troops giving a defacto no fly zone.
The areas were split up like this to stop “friendly Fire” I don’t think anyone can identify a moving aircraft at 3km.
Stinger missiles should curtail tactical air power but LGBs probably allow attacks on supply lines from higher altitude.

That depends really,. The Russians were moving to upgrade/replace their IFF systems in 2013/14...if they did manage to do that perhaps they can identify fast jets at close range. At the time they were talking about using encrypted ADSB.

Sure, but it cannot be enforced without putting NATO air forces directly against Russian air forces.
It's a WWIII scenario.
