I can see that being the case but shooting down Ukrainian jets over Ukrainian airspace from Russia would be brazen and dangerous given the potential international reaction. Seems as though there is much more to lose unless he's seeking a much larger portion of Ukraine and is willing to risk the international backlash associated with directly provoking state to state military conflict.

What does he really have to lose though? He knows the west won't intervene militarily. I personally don't think the missile came from inside Russia but rather the Ukrainians are throwing that out there as a possibility just to garner attention and support from the international community.
