Actually we used to violate The USSR's airspace quite often with the SR-71 up until 1985 there was no aircraft or missile that could intercept it except the US's very own F14. The Russians were finally able to coordinate tactics with their M31s and were finally able to intercept a Blackbird in international waters with 6 M31s. It was only after that, that we stopped entering their airspace, because they finally showed themselves capable of catching the SR-71, but then we started using spy satellites. LOL
