- eitland 4y agoMost of these shootdowns are well documented too it seems so I think it is correct.
- sofixa 4y agoOryx reports "only" 57 confirmed helicopter losses: https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/03/list-of-aircraft-losses-during-2022.html?m=1 https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/03/list-of-aircraft-losse... The real number is probably somewhere between the two, but in any case a massive chunk of the Russian Air Force is destroyed/inoperable.
