"Russian aircraft, drones and missiles have violated NATO airspace dozens of
times since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
Individually, many of these incidents appear minor: a drone crash here, a brief
fighter incursion there, a missile discovered only after the fact.
But taken together, I believe the numbers tell a far more troubling story.
To get a full picture of the scale of violations, I conducted a systematic
review of Russian airspace violations against NATO members from 2022 through
the end of 2025.
It reveals not just an increase but a sharp acceleration accompanied by rising
severity and widening geographic scope. In 2025 alone, NATO members recorded 18
confirmed Russian airspace violations – three times as many as in 2024 and more
than half of all incidents recorded over the four-year period. This was not a
gradual escalation; it was a dramatic change."
