Russia on Friday warned of a 'direct confrontation' with NATO with thinly-veiled threats to destroy or disrupt US spy drones flying over the Black Sea.
A statement issued today in Moscow by Putin's new defence minister Andrey Belousov instructed his armed forces general staff to 'take measures to respond promptly to provocations' involving US surveillance drones over the Black Sea.
A separate warning from the Putin regime claimed Western leaders are falling into 'the abyss of direct armed confrontation with Russia' - a likely nuclear conflict.
The Russian defence ministry 'noted an increased intensity of flights of US strategic unmanned aerial vehicles over the waters of the Black Sea, which carry out reconnaissance and targeting of precision weapons supplied to the Ukrainian armed forces by Western countries in order to strike Russian facilities'.
