but CAS is (IMHO of course) very firmly civil airspace.
I might be wrong, but I belive UK is the only country in the more civilized parts of the world not to protect their bases terminal area with some CAS.
And the Russians do not respect or adhere to reg regarding CAS, it's all due regard.
For the airline pilots out there, it's also a strong rumor going, that the Russian air force is flying in the blind spot of commercial aircraft,
trying to hide from NATO EW radars. Cheeky bas*****......
