Seems doubtful due to specific form of FW189.
Also, in the Krymskaja area on the same time a fall of the German fighter was also registered by the German observers

Probably it was the "fighter" from German report ("1 km SW Tabak Plantage" - it is ~4 km W from the center of Krymskaja). So the FW189 case remains unresolved.

Best regards,
