Hit Su-25 back to base.

Were is many examples of hit aircraft, and the pilot could be happy to be back to base.

I have earlier mentioned Tu-22M3 made this sorties. I have also mentioned Tu-95 sorties.

They go close to the border and release the missiles of different types.

Shaykovka and Ryazan Dyagilevo must also be involved (Tu-22M3 and Tu-95).

I suppose soon are the whole Russian Air Forces involved.

Debrise from a frgamentated Su-34 must comes from a Chelyabinsk Shagol Su-34. Operating from Lida?

Operating over Black Sea are both Tu-160 and Tu-95.

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.

A Tu-95, but that was probably what you meant Fred!

Oups ! Indeed, Tu-95

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.

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....

According to Oryx they caught15 helicopters....

Plus some indication of the attack a week ago on Kherson, with the 30 choppers claimed. Couple of wrecks visible on the dispersals.

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.
