Well Gary Powers flew into Russian (USSR) airspace and we know what happened to him. Then there was the 747 (Korean Airlines?) that genuinely strayed off course and was shot down. So my point is that Russia does not hesitate to react and thus would have absolutely no come back if one of her aircraft aircraft violated sovereign airspace once too often and paid the price.

But Russia will continue to do so until someone stands up to her.
