Hello kolya,
The General Staff/Krivosheev loss figures are usually not worth the paper they are written on. Khazanov and Gorbach's book is the place to go for reliable data. They write that the 16 VA suffered 391 total losses between the 5th and 12th of July and the 2 VA lost 371 aircraft between the 5th and 18th.
VVS total losses are usually subdivided into several categories: a/c shot down by enemy aircraft, a/c shot down by AAA, a/c failed to return, a/c lost in crashes (non-combat causes, crew killed), a/c lost in accidents (non-combat causes, crew survived), a/c written off due to damage. A source such as Krivosheev's book simply adds these together, but often omits some data.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Sanders
