Aren't overflights justification enough for a shoot down?

It wasn't an overflight, just in UK airspace the ADIZ. Can't stop them flying in it, just they should say who they are...

I can't see the big deal. Russians get to flag wave, RAF looks good.

@XabbaRus

Thanks for the info. It clears up quite a-bit.

Wasn't there an occasion earlier this year when a Russian jet flew up the eastern coastline of England completely unchallenged?
