The risk of nuclear war every 40 years is heavily weighted towards incidents like these. If nuclear war had a 10% chance of happening during the 80′s, a big chunk of that would be during the Korean Airlines Flight 007 Incident.
Why do you believe that to be more important than the Petrov incident?
I just looked up the dates and it seems 1 September 1983 was the Korean Airlines Flight 007 Incident and 26 September 1983 was Petrov day, so I do agree that’s not completely unreasonable to see that as one general time period.
It was never a proxy war. Invasion started in 2014, was eventually contained to Crimea and chunks of 2 regions and escalated in 2022.

I was referring to that same general time period. I misremembered it as being less than 1.5 weeks apart.
