Russian plane flies in Estonian airspace without permission
A Russian aircraft flew in Estonian airspace without permission on Wednesday morning, the Ministry of Defense said,
The Ilyushin Il-76 IL76MD aircraft entered Estonian airspace above Vaindloo Island in the Gulf of Finland without permission and flew in Estonia’s airspace for approximately one minute.
The aircraft’s transponder was switched on but radio contact was not established with the Estonian air traffic service, the ministry said.
On Thursday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Russian ambassador to Estonia and handed over a note.
This was the first time that a Russian plane violated the Estonian air border this year.

Officially, as representative of Estonia (or any other nation whose airspace is violated by mafia land) I would announce to the Ruskies that they have no sense of orientation and their navigation is primitive. I would have all the newspapers and TV stations say the same thing.
Maybe this embarrassment would stop such future behavior?

An air to air missile would have the same effect.

I wonder if no radio contact was enough to shoot it down? Maybe Murf will chime in.
