Firing a missile to 200 km altitude isn't that difficult (after all the Germans did it back in 1942). Launching from an aircraft at 50,000 feet does help, but the reason ASAT was aircraft-borne was mainly for the flexibility and quick-reaction capability. An aircraft can launch almost anywhere in the wrld and in any direction.
