They didn't just threaten Ukraine. they threatened anyone supplying or steering the weapons via satellite with their locattion-intel. Thus, anyone making the decisions. That broadly means UK, Germany. France, Sweden, Netherlands or USA. More specifically, it means Blinken, Stoltenberg, Nuland and anyone else swinging pompoms for Ukraine. The Russians have already destroyed many bases where a bunch of mercenaries accidentally left phone-traces - but those are mere soldiers. So I think the Russians are looking at a strike on those eejits who think their balls are big, and they feel safe, far away.
The long-range, smart, ICBMs that Russia can fire, don't need to be nuclear, but they can hit pretty much anything, and anyone, within minutes - just saying.
The response could mean the targetting of actual satellites, but I see that Moscow have banished six UK diplomats (spies) for starters - which is still a typical Putin soft approach (Because he is patiently waiting for the well-defined casus belli). But, there are many in the Kremlin who are champing at the bit, so to speak.
