Russian media on Wednesday echoed President Vladimir Putin's tough talk on Turkey's downing of its fighter jet but warned against letting tensions spiral into further conflict, AFP reports.
Front pages were dominated by pictures of the burning Russian jet and Putin's words that its downing was a "stab in the back."
"Russia is no longer a whipping boy," wrote pro-Kremlin tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda in an aggressive op-ed.
