Russia not probing into Canadian airspace, federal officials say

Senior Canadian defence and foreign affairs officials said on September 25, 2025, that Russia has not entered Canadian airspace over the past year.
Officials explained this follows a notable increase in Russia's probing of NATO allies' defences, including multiple incursions in eastern Europe.
In recent weeks, Russia has deployed drones over the airspace of Poland and Romania and conducted fighter jet flights through Estonia, leading NATO to respond accordingly.
In response, NATO called for consultations under Article 4 and initiated Operation Eastern Sentry to enhance defenses along its eastern border, while Canadian authorities continue to consider additional sanctions.
Canadian officials indicated that NATO might consider a wider response, while a House of Commons panel is examining the recent Russian flights into the airspace of NATO member countries.
