Why is this news then?
Clickbait.
Yeah, we do the same to other countries too.
Really not news, happens all the time. Slightly more newsworthy when one of the pilots is a jerk about it, like crossing in front of opposing jets that are escorting.
These articles occur frequently, not particularly newsworthy, unless an actual incident of some kind occurs.
