Why would they send jets before trying different frequencies?
Seems like too rapid of an escalation imo

I think switching to a frequency that a different region uses could be dangerous, since then the airplanes near do border would receive the signal but the airport wouldn’t. This could lead to misscommunications.
Also, the airline pays for the jets.

Not directly, but depending on the airspace you are violating you might end up meeting some people who have absolutely zero chill
