Re: Soviet over Finland. 25-30 VI 1941. New Article
Hello Mirek,
What Soviet defence regions are included in the casuality number approx. 130 aircraft for the days 25 to 30 June 1941? I presume that this might include Leningrad area? Because if it is only VVS SF and VVS KF, my own findings do not support those large figures of Soviet losses. Indeed, VVS SF and VVS KF had heavy losses during those seven days, byt my own counting of combat losses and combat damages only reaches to 53 aircraft. And that includes 27 aircraft destroyed or damaged on the ground due to German air attacks. So, the operative combat casualities for VVS SF and VVS KF for these days seem to have been 26 aircraft. 24 of these aircraft were lost. Even if also including flight accidents (that sometimes can be related to enemy actions) the total number of operative losses with VVS SF and VVS KF together only seem to reaches 31 aircraft.
