What if NATO started flying drones over Ukraine?

Simply for recon. Monitoring troop movements, taking snapshots of military equipment...

The other day I read that russian tanks have been spotted in Eastern Ukraine. And not any kind: a specific model that Russia does NOT export and only use in its own military.

but if the Ukraine asks for assistance over it's own territory, why not. The OSCE has drones but stopped flying them after the were jammed by military grade jamming and fired on from the pro-Russians.
