Do we have any actual confirmation of it?
I do recall statement made by Fighterbomber that claimed that the VKS losses throughout the Wagner ordeal was 1 An-26 Transport Aircraft and 5-8 Helicopters (with among them 2 or 3 Ka-52s).

This is mostly from what i could remember so take it with some mild scepticism

AFAIK it was not a An-26 but an Iljushin of some variant ECM/recce type

The claim is the actions of the Wagner PMC caused the destruction of three EW Mi-8MTPR helicopters, a Mi-8 transport helicopter, a Ka-52 attack helicopter, a Mi-35M transport and combat helicopter and an Il-22 VPU air command post. Seven aircraft in which 12 pilots and crew members were killed (according to Rybar, more than 20 dead).

Funny that Russia ended up losing more aerial assets internally than throughout the entire Ukranian counter offensive.

So it turns out a single Wagner column has better AD than Ukraine armed forces across the entire Zaporozhye front.

Added unrelated news:

Could be threat mongering or Wagner wanting to redeem themselves.

This feels like something straight out of War Thunder. Two unlucky Ukrainian MRAPs met a T-80 of the 136th Motorized Rifle Brigade. Kamekaze drone barely scratched the tank.

FPV drone strike at Ukrainian hideout. ECM interference at the end but not going to stop the drone's momentum in trajectory. These dreadful weapons turning the battlefield into a video game.

Warning. Image of people in serious injury but no dead I can see. A video from the Ukrainian point of view. A group of foreign mercenaries ran into a mine.

Two MRAP and BMP hit in this column. Note that Russian commentary tends to call BMP generically for any APC. This is at Makarovka.

Two more kills on this Ka-52

While attention was at Wagner mutiny, Russians blew up a Ukrainian ammo depot.

I think from the look of things the VKS wasn't looking for a fight from the beginning, them keeping an eye on the situation was misinterpreted by Wagner, seeing as EW and C2 aircraft made up most of the reported casualties.

Such luxury is not afforded to the Ukranians, who are fighting against prepared position with ample cover for helicopters to hide behind, unlike in Russia where the Wagner convoy was outrunning possible response and AA fire could come from anywhere.

Pantsir definitely showing that it's a very dangerous piece of equipment against helicopters.

You must be so disappointed. Your panties must have been soaking wet seeing how much you were posting about it in this thread.

I'm sorry it ended it so soon for you...

ok. That’s already enough for the first post by being inflammatory, political and even more so commenting a moderator‘s advice!

Say good bye to the SDF.
