13 years ago Ukraine shot down a Russian Tu-154 over the Black sea with a C-200 (military exercise accident).

The S-200 has an operational range of 190 miles and a ceiling of 130,000 feet.

An article the wikipedia refers to, says the distance was 160 mi, so it was within the C-200's range.

The exercises were conducted on Cape Onuk, in Crimea, about 160 miles from the site of the crash.
