They certainly don't read their own papers.
What is needed is a whole bunch of empty B737s to do circuits of the Black Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, off North Cape etc, to just add to the fun quotient of the Russians. They do that and they don't expect others to do it back?
For what it's worth the 12" GWX-70 will pick up the same size target at 60nm, and you can add that to a Cessna Caravan. Plonk in a whole bunch of turtle packs, and pack a lunch and lots of coffee. There is some really neat synthetic aperture sidescan radar systems that can be strapped to the same clunker, and that will give a photo-realistic image in real-time with L/L, COG/SOG etc. not going to be great at avoiding power poles when they get launched, but still there's a lot of the Black sea to deny from the Russians. Great for hour building. bring a parachute and an immersion suit.
