Russian planes would have been told to turn around and GTFO at the very least, no way they would have been allowed to pass through EU airspace even if their destination is not the EU. Why aren't they even doing that?
They are indeed tracked down by fighter jets and followed out of the airspace. My point was more that international law doesn't allow a state to just shoot stuff, even after a warning, when there is no immediate threat.
And what do you think those jets would have done if the plane didn't comply and leave? Just shrug their shoulders?
