MOSCOW, Sept 26 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday that talk of shooting down Russian military planes over Europe was reckless, aggressive and marked a serious escalation of tension near Russia's border.

"Statements about shooting down Russian planes are, well, at the very least, reckless, irresponsible. And, of course, dangerous in their consequences," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state TV reporter Pavel Zarubin.

Bloomberg reported earlier that European diplomats had warned Moscow that NATO was ready to respond with full force against violations of its airspace, including by shooting down Russian planes.
