1/Achievement unlocked, russians confirmed a damaged aerial relay Il-22 (probably Il-22M-11). According to MK, on 3-Apr-22 the aircraft was hit by 2 Buk missiles over Ukrainian territory and managed to rtb, sustaining damage to the cockpit, the tail, hydraulics/oil systems and 2/onboard fire. Allegedly there were no casualties and the aircraft was deemed repairable after inspection. Although, if you ask me, it sounds like a really long and exhausting repair.

Apparently we have another shot down Su-35S. The photos were published on 4-Feb-23, but the exact date nor the exact location of the wreckage are unknown. Possibly Kherson obl, but far from certain.
And no, this isn't the same Su-35S from Apr.

So, it's a confirmed Su-34. Now the question remains - which "22" red it was and when exactly has it been shot down?
The first video from the crash site was published on 16-Nov. Image I tend to agree that it's RF-95005.

1/It’s long overdue, but here we go – russian aircraft losses in Chernobaivka c. 12-16 of March. Unfortunately I didn't document the sources of all the images, since I didn't plan on publishing this analysis and catalogued it for myself. 2/Saying that, let's begin. Following is the most recent sat imagery of Kherson a/p before 24-Feb-2022 I managed to find. It consists of Esri sat images dated to between Oct-2021 and end of Nov-2021, judging by the already laid asphalt, but lack of markings that appeared in Dec. ImageImageImage

If anyone wondered what #crashed today in #russian Stavropol' region injuring 6 firefighters, you'd be very much surprised to know that it wasn't a "Ukrainian UAV", but a russian #Kinzhal missile. ImageImageImageImage And yes, the "booster" or the nozzle's aerodynamic cover didn't separate from the missile upon its separation from the carrier(?), which would probably mean that the main engine didn't ignite.
