Assuming this is just another mistake (likely), it seems like since Russian arms sometimes end up hitting NATO soil, that the reasonable course of self-defense is to extend their air defenses and shoot down arms that come near their territory. You can't know that the drone will go off target until it does, so you just have to shoot down anything heading in the general direction, even if it's likely targeting Ukraine.
