Nothing of that makes any sense.
All reports so far indicate Schede's aircraft went down very close to Stalingrad.
I can't see how it is possible his aircraft can be located near a place called Talovaya Balka
I can't find that place, but something called Balka Talovaya instead. Same place?
Whatever the case, Kirovograd area is nowhere near Stalingrad.
