Are you possibly thinking that the landmass that the aircraft is flying over is Russian territory? It is actually flying over Norway. In the image below I colored in green the border between Russia and Norway, and in red the border between Russia and Finland. <br><br> [![Russia Norway border][1]][1] <br><br> The closest that it got to Russian landmass appears to be about 28 nautical miles (32 miles, 52 km). As mentioned in [another answer][2] to your question the limit is 12 nautical miles. And as mentioned in a comment by @Bianfable, [OpenStreetMap][3] shows this boundary.
