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 tinyurl.com/437pky9m
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.

Short thread about the shot down date and crash site location of the Russian Air Force Mi-24VM s/n RF-9xxxx visible in this video that was first posted on 12 March 2022.
Crash site location is near Kalinovka, Mykolaiv Oblast. Coordinates: 47.049888, 32.200021
There is nothing in our coordinates on 23 February 2022, but a dark spot is clearly visible on 10 March. Unfortunately there is overcast or no sat coverage between these two dates. Added false color variant of each photo for better contrast.
Today the prominent pro-Russia TG channel Helicopterpilot posted a "mourning photo" of a Ka-52 helicopter with the caption "Unfortunately, yesterday we lost our comrades".
In the same post he stated that "Yesterday's information on the Mi-8 and Mi-24 was a hoax". He also confirmed the loss of "shuska" (Sukhoi) on 21 May, and that "the pilot has not yet been found". t.me/milhelipilot/1…
This seems to be a confirmation of the Ukrainian Air Force Command claim that "At the end of the day on May 21, a Russian Su-35 fighter jet experienced a "negative takeoff" in the territorial waters of Ukraine in the Kherson region!" facebook.com/kpszsu/posts/p…
