You’re not serious, right? “Violating airspace” is grounds for destroying an aircraft and killing its crew?

Not really: there are several hundred steps including diplomatic protests, fighter escorts, raising the issue to international courts, and more before you turn to destroying stuff.

That’s known as “an act of war”.
