@Archer83Able:
Two Russian Mil Mi-8 helicopters, a Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber and a Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jet were shot down in Bryansk Oblast of Russia today, according to updated information.

The dark day of the Russian aviation indeed. https://t.co/WODSPtSj7N https://t.co/4705ziY1Sw

The only publicly confirmed recent Russian fighter losses occurred last week in Bryansk. Seems the Patriot may have been involved in the shoot down of the Su-34 bomber and Su-35S fighter.

427. NW Bakhmut
While mentioning the🇺🇦77th Airmobile Bde, not so much media from them recently. Brigade elements are long known to be somewhere on the NW edge of town. Here they spot 2 Wagner at 48.599223, 37.971656. They use L119s. I like how they keep their ammo somewhere safe.
