He adds that there has been official confirmation of at least one Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 Flanker being destroyed during the first wave of attacks on Ozerne Air Base in central Ukraine.
While supplying aircraft would address the immediate problem of replacing attrition losses, Ukraine's main airbases have been subjected to attack, with at least six MiG-29s destroyed on the ground at Ivano-Frankivsk Airport in the southwest of the country.
Commercial satellite imagery from Feb. 27 appears to show a couple of wrecked Su-24s at Lutsk following a Russian strike
There however is evidence the Ukrainians have lost at least one Su-24. On March 30, a video circulated on social media apparently depicting a Ukrainian bomber trailing smoke over Rivne in western Ukraine, purportedly after a Russian fighter intercepted it. At least one of those claimed kills appears to be valid.
'All deliveries were successful,' Budanov said. But on the 5th and 7th missions, two helicopters were shot down. A third helicopter coming to the rescue on one of those was also destroyed, Budanov said.
Certain is only that the Ukrainians lost another Su-25. 'Blue 31' was shot down yesterday afternoon
Russian air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian Tu-141 Strizh drone over Crimea, allegedly launched from Odesa.
In retaliation, the Russians have managed to shoot down just two TB-2s that analysts have verified. The most recent documentation of a wrecked TB-2 circulated on social media beginning Wednesday. A day prior, photos appeared online of MAM missiles in Russian hands, possibly from the same destroyed TB-2.
At the same time, there's photographic evidence that the Ukrainians have shot down at least one of Russia's killer drones. Yes, the Russians have shot down at least three TB-2s, but the Ukrainians can afford to lose more drones.
Images of an 'obsolete' Ukrainian Tu-143 unmanned scout drone that was shot out of the sky by Russian forces over Kharkiv were widely shared.
As for other planes that remained in Hostomel, the pilot said that the An-74 and An-26 were destroyed. But An-22 and An-124 "Ruslan" are damaged. Regarding their recovery, the pilot said:'I believe that Ruslan will be restored, An-28 will be restored. The An-22 may also be restored, but it has been severely damaged.'
