Recently I was updating my list using info from the memorial of the fallen airmen from the 39th Helicopter Regiment. There are 16 names all together and they are as follows:
1st and 2nd are major Igor Markelov and major Sergei Emelyanchik. They perished on 3 March 2022 together with their Mi-28.
So far, no Mi-28 wreckage has been found that can be matched to their date of death. They are counted on the list here https://t.co/5ze535uDImfacebook.com/permalink.php?…
3rd and 4th are podpolkovnik Yuri Orichak and starshiy leytenant Eldar Timushev. They perished on 5 March 2022 in their Mi-24.
I made a post about them here Most likely they are related to the loss of the Mi-24VM s/n RF-13017, 22 blue, downed near Bashtanka, Mykolaiv Oblast. https://t.co/8uaoj9yh87 https://t.co/vbWe7TBfhrtinyurl.com/pxsrufw5

Another likely possibility is Mi-24VM s/n RF-9xxxx downed near Kalinovka, Mykolaiv Oblast. https://t.co/RSPl7X06qWtinyurl.com/3t44uj47
5th and 6th are kapitan Andryus Kyatvirtis and starshiy leytenant German Zakharov. They perished on 5 March 2022 in Mi-8AMTSh together with...
7th, kapitan Ivan Parfyonov. In the same incident kapitan Vadim Alaev (10th) was badly burned, I will write about him a little later.
