Luftwaffe claims on 22 June 1941

[Mirek Wawrzynski]

The most combat losses Soviet avaition were over Wester Front agains 3 mixed air division (9., 10., 11. SAD) there were not so many air battles during the whole day, mostly against bombers, fighters less agians destroyers, dive bombers.

SKG 210, if right remeber had claimed, 8 air victories, most next were destroyed planes on the ground.
ZG 26 at least 3 Soviet bombers shot down and destroyed over Czerleny - it was 3 SB (but it could be Pe-2s instead SBs?) of 16. SBAP.

Destroyers had done many ground attack, but they did not fought many air battles as Me 109s did. The single engined fighter had much more occasion to air fighting, then Me 110s during whole day.

Me 110s fought rather incidentaly like over Czerleny, Małe Zwody (74. SzAP and SKG 210 - 1 shot down/destroyed I-153). So they did not have many occasion to air duels during whole day.
The same situation over North-Western Front (ZG 26), where there were not so many air duels and Soviet losses in air were small (Soviet lost in all total 56 destroyed planes from all reasons)

64 air victories achived by destroyers or other assult units are rather impossible, but if you add bomber's crew claims, which were more often attacked by Soviet fighters (since begining 4-5 a.m.) and they always have many air claims, so this figure could be achived. I do not have data about each LW's units.

Other thing is real Soviet losses during these air combats, of coures were less.
