So the situation like with Luftwaffe. It is regrettably
I had a hope to update the loss account of Lfl.4 during Apr.-Jun.43 by Hungarian AF losses for the full understanding of the situation.
Unfortunately GQM returns for the timeframe in question hasn't Hungarian AF entries.

Returning to 16.Jun.43: on Urasov airfield were ready for action 1 Yak-1, 7 Yak-7b, 2 Hurricanes of 573.IAP and 4 Yak-9 attached from 802.IAP.

According to operative report of 310.IAD, 7 fighters took off for intercept. Maybe all of them were Yaks. Their sole claim was Toth's Bf109F. How many Ju88s and Bf109s took part in the mission?

Best regards,
