To be very honest i do not feel very confortable at all with some nation(s) taking down some objects out of the sky without knowing nothing about their origins, missions, or above all, wich "entity" they belong...pure arrogance and selfishness if "they" were not acting in an hostile behaviour...NOTAMS and Temp Reserves could be used....unless they know at all 100% to who/whom they are messing up ?
And just how would you determine the origins, mission and the owners. At the end of the day they were in territorial airspace, it’s alright using NOTAMS for airliners etc, but unmanned suspected spy drones I think not. Just like the Virgin ballon’s that did the record breaking flights, permission had to be gained to overfly countries, without that these are legitimate targets IMHO especially bearing in mind the current heightened tensions.

Remember both Russia and China have downed spy aircraft
