It's quite simple though: indirect help is a line in the sand that was already crossed. It's not about laws of physics. If Russia wanted to start a nuclear exchange because of the Javelins, they had reasons from day 1. Extra Javelins won't make them any more morally justified.
It turns out now that Javelins and other man portable missiles are doing quite a good job in this war. The Turkish Bayraktar drone too [1]. That's what they need. And intelligence, and help on the cyber side, on the economic side and on the PR side. And they are getting all of those.
And more: they just sent a bunch of helicopters to Romania to have them fixed.
The Mig thing is just an unnecessary escalation, and the benefit is quite dubious too.
