Re: Lvov-Sandomierz operation July 1944
According to Soviet stats (Krivosheev), the soviet lost some 289 during the operation itself (13/07 to 29/08).
German losses remain unclear as there aren't many sources and they are reportedly incomplete but their losses have been quoted as approximately 1150 destroyed and 800 more damaged for july and august 1944, by wihch time 4 major soviet ops were going on (in which the soviets lost some 1550 planes, plus those lost during operationnal pauses).

P.S. : there may be some ambiguity in the sources, but as far as I understand it, for the year 1944, approximately 45 % of soviet combat losses were during strategic ops..., though as several of these were simultaneously going on in july- august, we could perhaps speculate that for this period, this proportion was higher...
