Can I ask you about the source(s) you're quoting the events from?
I am asking this because from what I know on June 22, there were five victory claims filed by 96 OIAE pilots, including St. lt.M. Maksimov, against 'SET-15' biplanes. No 'Stukas' or 'Karas' could be the victims.

By the way, the ARR He 112B, No. 18, flown by Adj. stag. rez. av. Aldea Cerchez of Gr. 5 vân., was shot down on July 2, not June 22.

Again, what is your source claiming that not a single Soviet fighter was lost that day in that area? Just for confirmation...
