Russian Air Force lost 12th March 2 helicopters, 2 aircraft (1 Su-34) and 2 UAV (Ovruch and Kiev).
From start had Russia 90 Battalion BTG of which 30 are destroyed. Russia try to reform BTG.
Another Russian plane shot down by the Ukrainians. You can see it, but only shortly and in a distance. No idea what it is, when it happened and if this particular downing has been claimed before. https://twitter.com/UAWeapons/status/15 ... 9131357186
Funny, they blur the RF and Bort numbers, but the c/n is visible everywhere. So should be RF-90965 / 25508108048 out of action for the time being.
I noticed the same indeed. Rather short sighted of the Russians (like many other actions during this war).
A miracle this jet made it home though, with that damage. Shows again the strength of Russian aircraft in general.

Another blow to Russians Aviation capacity. A Ukrainian (artillery?) strike on a helicopter base in Kherson blew up at least 4 helicopters and damages another 3 or so. With footage....
High resolution image of the Kherson base after the second attack. At least 3 helicopters destroyed in the latest attack and 6 destroyed helicopters can be seen on the other side in the dispersals, plus an additional 3 that still seem to be intact but might well be full of holes from shrapnell. https://gifyu.com/image/SMXkl
