Spy Plane
Must have been one hell of a spy plane! Other pilots couldn't see them at all!
Ain't that a Russian body of water??
The united nations convention on the law of the sea, which both UK and RF have signed, means somewhere between 3 and 12 nautical miles from the coast is classed as a nations territorial waters, so a good chunk of it would be administered by the RF, but not the whole thing

obligatory the USA has not signed onto this cinvention, despite citing FREEDOM of NAVIGATION every time they send their bloody warships anywhere
Nope, just like the north sea is international waters.
Only a certain portion off the coast is considered sovereign airspace.
Just like how the US intercepts international boats delivering aid to Cuba. And how Israel hijacks European boats off the coast of Greece.
What does blockades and sanctions have to do with comparing the black sea and the north see to show that most of it is international waters?
What does nobody else from the West abiding by "the rules" have to do with "the rules"?
What rule was the british plane breaking?
It's not, just as the north sea is not a british body of water.
If it can be said to 'belong' to anyone, it would be Turkiye. They decide who gets in/out and who doesn't.
