Direct conflict is unlikely. Both sides are content with the proxy wars being waged in Yemen and Syria. Why involve your own army when you can pay some other country to do it?

There’s a limit to the number of fighter jets that can be accidentially (or intentionally) shot down before escalation becomes almost inevitable. It's not inconceivable that we'll see NATO special forces casualities in Russian air raids (or vice-versa).
