Both theaters stay gray-zone rather than kinetic — spillover and probing, not direct targeting

- Outcome
- Both published invalidation lines held. ADIZ incursions never approached the stated threshold of three consecutive months above the 319 baseline: July ran 190 entries across 260 sorties, up 25% on June but 53% below July 2025. No direct attributed Russian kinetic strike on NATO occurred — a cruise missile crashed in Poland on 30 July, Romanian airspace was violated more than 23 times in 2026, and Germany formally blamed Russia for an explosive drone at Leipzig/Halle on 5 Aug, but an independent assessment characterized the period as airspace violations and hybrid operations rather than direct attributed kinetic strikes, which is the call's own pre-stated distinction.
