unless you want to shoot down an SU-24 or an Ilyushin-20, then that's okay Russia wont do shit about that.

Yes. Russia is known for that. In the 50th, US bombed several airfields and destroyed over 130 aircraft, USSR did nothing. Historically Russia politely warns several times before taking drastic actions that ended badly for the aggressor. So it's not a good idea to provoke the bear.

It's a warning from Putin - don't provoke. And is probably directed at UK.
