“That was an act of war. We should have shot them down and alerted to DEFCON 1.”
You have zero idea of the facts. First of all, yes 30 feet is indeed international airspace. Maybe you would like to explain the TFR regulating airspace above a ship in international waters. (Pro tip, there isn’t one)
Look, we all miss the cold war. It’ll be ok.
We would have been perfectly justified in splash these aircraft.
Having done so, it would be irresponsible not to raise the DEFCON.
