There's no doubt that accidents like this will always happen, the only way to reduce them and that is with prior planning and awareness of where the problems arise. Let me tell you a story, pull up a sandbag and make yourself comfortable!!
Whilst flying in the Arabian Sea, before the Gulf war so it was a while ago! We heard on Guard the Omani AD guy call up an unidentified aircraft that was approaching Omani airspace. No answer, so he called again! Still no answer, eventually giving the unidentified aircraft's height, heading, and position. The aircraft responded, it was an American C-141. The controller asked why they didn't identify themselves the correct distance from the ADIZ, they replied that they didn't know! The controller pointed out it was in the ERS, and the aircraft replied, asking how long that rule had been in place. The controller said since the foundation of the Sultanate of Oman!!!
Oh! He also told the aircraft to follow the Jag that had been sitting on his wingtip for 20 mins to the nearest airfield!!
