A no fly zone means American planes downing Russian planes.
I'm not sure the US can. The US has generally achieved aerial dominance with fighters, not SAM systems. Russia has focused on SAM systems in opposition to this.
What will the US do about S-300 and S-400 systems, and god knows what else on the Russian side of the border?
What's your point? If we're shooting down their planes we've already committed to war against them. Doesn't really matter where the SAMs are at that point.

If we actually committed to this war? Destroy them with long range missle attacks like we did in Vietnam

By the same token, America is extremely well prepared for the mission of SAM suppression.
