Thanks for the good input.
However my point was that the civilian air traffic control has radar data, thus if there is any aircraft in the area that does not provide secondary data, then the civilian air traffic controller could use radar data available to him to shepherd the civilian aircraft to safety.
As civilian aircraft tend to fly at high altitudes (over the neutral waters) then in most cases such radar data should be available in Europe.
As to my point of the article being alarmist - as it is not about the safety as such, but Russia being evil and conducting things evil countries shouldn't be allowed to do.
