ALLIED RESOLVE 2022 + the war that followed

The image above does not load for me, so perhaps I am posting something double, but here is evidence of the jet shot down over Izyum. Clearly a Russian Flanker.

The Ukrainian Air Defense Forces shot down five enemy targets on April 3.
According to Ukrinform, the Air Force Command informed this on Facebook.

It is noted that the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces destroyed two cruise missiles, a helicopter and two aircraft - Su-34 and Su-35.

The Ukrainian defenders also hit an IL-22 repeater aircraft (air control point). From the intercepted radio exchange of the Russians it became known that the plane was damaged, the cabin was depressurized, and the pilots requested an emergency landing at Rostov airport.

As Ukrinform reported, from February 24 to April 3, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at about 18,000 personnel.

Apparantly a Russian helicopter defected to Ukraine.

Apparantly, 6 Russian helicopters took off from Gomel for a flight to Russia. One (RF-04812) broke formation and went in a south eastern direction, towards Ukraine. Never to be heard from again by the Russians... Perhaps tomorrow we see the pictures of it somewhere in a field. Today there were also pictures of a Russian tank that the crew sold to the Ukrainians.

These helicopters is a part? of the

112-й ОВП - в/ч 78081 - 11-я А ВВС

112th OVP unit 78081 of the 11th VVS, based at Cheremski, Chita.

It is the (remaining ?) part of the Mi-8AMTSh.

Thank you for those details.
It is usefull as it is somtimes hard to avoid counting twice the same shot-down machine (for examole once when it is filmed beeing shot down and a second time when photos of the wreckages appear later, without linking it to the previously reported "kill").

By the way, I may have been inattentive, but I am not sure that this Ka-52, presumably lost at Hostomel during the first hours of the war, was already reported (my excuses if it was).

There is many many aircraft and helicopters who not are counted.

One reason is that the place for the downing has been taken by the invading forces.

I have diverging information about
Colonel Ruslan Igorevich Rudnev, KIA +1 mars, ShAP Donma, commander, downed with Su-25SM,

He is buried in Samara the 1 March.
But he is downed also the 1 March?

But he is commander of the 120 IAP Chita-Domna. With Su.25SM?

But for me is the Su-25SM subordinated to a ShAP.

Is he downed in a Su-30SM or a Su-25SM?

Both the Su-30SM and Su-25SM is based in Chita-Domna.

Someone knew better than me?

4 Volga-Dnepr An-124’s have been confiscated, 3 in Leipzig, one in Canada. These will most likely be transferred to the Ukraine ARMA Agency. Russia and VDA have issued air worthiness certificates for these aircraft, without permission from the Antonov company.

This helicopter type Mi-8AMTSh comes from the Khabarovsk regiment.
