Each time the Russians, Turks, or any other country violate EU or NATO airspace or maritime boundaries it could be considered a failure. It's not an overrun in a hot war but it is showing the weaknesses of the nations in questions. That doesn't mean that EU countries are about to be bombed in anyway but generally a nation that can't police its borders and stop foreign military incursions opens itself up to that possibility. That's why the airspace defense zones and island building in the South China Sea are such a big deal.
