From my terrace in the South District of Gibraltar I've been watching this/these helicopters operating well inside Gibraltar airspace!
At first I thought they must be RAF on exercise until I noticed they were then flying into Spanish airspace.
Apart from the danger to incoming aircraft and not communicating with ATC, these incidents that will be reported to the Spanish embassy, will not help the thousands of Spanish cross border workers that enter Gibraltar to work on a daily basis.
At this moment talks are still in progress for a UK, Spain, Gibraltar agreement for fluidly at the border crossing.
At this very delicate moment with the invasion of Ukraine, The Spanish are trying to assert themselves in a Putinesque manner!
