...but it's still an overflight. Twice by the look of it.
It's not unreasonable to think after those warnings a few weeks back that the Turkish military was under pretty strict guidelines. Turkey doesn't like what has been happening right outside its borders so that doesn't help.

(could one imagine the opposite scenario where a NATO mission is doing bombing raids a few miles from the Russian border and "accidentally" crossing into Russia's airspace for a few moments every now and then? Russia would never in a million years accept what it is doing to Turkey now)
