Why do countries have a jet or ship escort another nation’s jet or ship whenever they barely enter their territory, and then act like a crisis was barely averted even though they are on friendly terms?
In: Other
Generally it is done to
1. Make sure all is kosher kind of like how even a friendly handshake was originally to check if the other person has a hidden knife.
2. Let the rest of the branches of military know its a sanctioned entry and exit since you cant enter foreign airspace in a military/political capacity otherwise (commerical flights are commercial therefor isn’t necessary)
