Nor, for that matter, should any other nation declare same.
It's something the media always get wrong when talking about ADIZ incursions.
Anyone know different?
We used to file for Cyprus avoiding the Athens FIR. If we did penetrate they would tell us to avoid and file a complaint.
Just to add, the Sovs had no such inhibitions when they intercepted an SR71. It was egressing the Gulf of Bothna when they scrambled a Foxbat to catch him on the way out. Scrambled out of the GDR it passed about 14 miles behind. It was assessed that it could have engaged the Blackbird.
In recovery it violated Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and West German airspace. They were not particularly bothered about over flight let alone FIR penetration. Not that NATO had been much bothered either.
