Yeah - some examples not "apples to apples" - but KAL 007 falls within the pattern of aircraft cat and mouse - at least that's how Russia saw it.
MH 17 - yeah - agreed - but it does show how mistakes happen and things escalate.
Personally - I think Russia is trying to force an "incident" so Putin can make hay of it. We'll see.
The Scandinavian Airlines flight from Denmark to Sweden can hardly be said to be in a conflict zone - but I do get what you say.
Point(s) taken.
