The Turkish President said: "It is routine for jet fighters to sometimes fly in and out over (national) borders ... when you consider their speed over the sea," Mr Gul told the Anatolia news agency. "These are not ill-intentioned things but happen beyond control due to the jets' speed."
Could anyone with a knowledge of air defence comment on this? My understanding (admittedly from a naval/now civvy) standpoint is that diplomatic clearance is very definitely needed for any military asset to enter the air or sea space of a foreign country. Am I wrong?
