I can't imagine how it could.

A no-fly zone could have been effective only if it had been established before Russian troops amassed on the border of Ukraine.

Before, now or later; Russian troops amassed on the border or not; none of that would have mattered. The hypersonic missiles were launched from within Russia.

Duh.

But, if the US/NATO was already actively participating in the defense of Ukraine, the launching of the missile would have had a different meaning.

My position, from before the conflict began, was that the Roaring Bear is responsible for every death and all the suffering in Ukraine due to his purely defensive and reactionary approach to Russia's aggression.

I doubt that the people where the missiles land are aware of the subtle "different meaning".

Aware?

If the missiles were never launched, they'd be none the wiser...but, alive.

You still have no explanation as how a NFZ would have stopped the missiles. Not that I thought you could.

It's like the Chevy truck driver says in one of those "Walter" commercials, "Ha. It's like no one's ever seen a cat before."

I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF A NO FLY ZONE. But, if the US/NATO had been established as defenders of Ukraine, and the missiles were not being fired.
