It would be symmetric, but not every provocation needs to be answered symmetrically.

It would also be a bad idea. It would add very little in terms of strategic capability, and its effect would be largely symbolic. If anything it would simply stoke the aggressor's internal and external propaganda, and pull more willing conscripts over to the front. It would also cost a lot of money, which would be better spent on drones and shells.

Sometimes the coolest, fiercest response to a provocation is simply not to answer.

Though if there were to be a response, a much better one would be: "Just for that, here's another $200B for Ukraine."
