Theoretically speaking, is it possible for an AEW&C or EW aircraft to assume the flight plan of a passenger jet and fly over (or close to) an otherwise hostile protected airspace, deep enough (or close enough), inconspicuously and then start providing EW cover to an ingress package on approach?
If so, what is the best way to counter such a possibility other than closing airways?
It should be possible to prove such an event if it occurs too, so are there international laws that forbid such misuse of passenger jet identity or is it still unchartered territory?
After all, it is literally like putting the lives of other passenger jets in the vicinity or between hostile countries, in danger of getting shot.
