At this point, if Russia stated they were hit with a long range missile from "Country X" and provided pictures of identifiable debris, would anyone actually believe them?

I doubt anyone would actually care. They're getting weapons from NATO members, Russia wouldn't do anything in retaliation.

Russia would VERY MUCH care, and so would any NATO nation for what it'd mean. If a NATO weapon hits Russia, Russia will at minimum start actually threatening nuclear strikes, and probably throw down a lot more of their military to start threatening NATO directly.

No, they wouldn't win sh*t anyways, even if they started using the four nukes that are still operational, but a properly thrashing Russia would be very ugly for the whole region regardless of how fast NATO 'could' end Russia.

Russia has already threatened nuclear strikes. Russia is all threats and no hot sauce. No one believes Putey any more.

Oh I know, but after he'd me making threats he actually meant (and still couldn't pull off) while impotently pounding his fist on a mile long table.
