Considering that Germany is allied with all its neighbours bar Switzerland, I guess there are airspace agreements for ordinary missions.

And Austria.

Pekka, I think we all agree that Putin is a ****head. It's just more fun to poke fun at Bush.

We know that the Chinese don't even want you to fly withend 250 miles of their coast.

P-3 250 plus, but according the Chinese it was in their airspace.

Tass, joke all you want, but you, especially about the Putin youth. I'd joke about Hitler Jugend too, but then again I'm not that stupid. You can't handle discussion with facts so all you can do is run your little mouth like a punk.

On a related note, a news story here today is that the tiny far leftwing-party we're blessed with posed a question in Parliament on how often a particular, mysterious CIA-plane had been in Danish air space over the past couple of years.

The plane in question is a small Gulfstream jet, believed to be used by American agencies for secret transportation of terror suspects between different countries.

Anyway, the minister in charge responded that since 2001, it had overflown "Danish territory" on 12 occasions. He also informed them that "within the past 5 years, the plane had not made use of any of the 10 largest Danish airports."

@ at the entire thing, but in particular the way the minister's answers only serve to make things even more mysterious and prone to crazy conspiracy theories by the loonies.

Switch the sides, and see how much the US likes it

Yes, but the Chinese claim the waters outside the US coast.

Tass, no I'm not angry at you.. not after I killed 100 monsters in doom 3! :BLAM BLAM!:

Anyway yeah, the whoooole point is the reaction to request, because violations are pretty common. They do happen, on purpose.

Again the REAL point was to ask and learn how common this is in your country?

The US doesn't down planes for flying within 250 miles of it's airspace. It recognizes that a plane flying 250 miles away isn't flying in our airspace.

Don't fall for it Pekka! There's always a reason to be mean to Tass!

[Atahualpa]

The US did lots of violations during the iraq war, the only thing we could do was fly up, take a picture and file a diplomatic protest... the US ofc doesn't care, because when it's on a mission, other countries' rights are not important anymore.....

Are they spy planes?

You missed the point entirely. The point was whether you (or the US government) would like it if another country constantly spies on you.

I don't blame anyone for missing the point your are now trying to make. There's been no mention of spies or spy planes until your last post. You're just trying to change the subject because Geronimo so effortlessly pwned you.

Yeah, too much risk of damaging American property. Much better to shoot down airliners over the Persian Gulf.

You mean the PRC only spies on its own citizens?
