Russian AF casualitites - 2 planes

By Pavel | August 10, 2008 on 5:48 pm | In # Avia news |

No matter what Georgian press says - at last there is official information from the Russian deputy Chief of Staff Anatoly Nagovitsin: Russian Tu-22 was shot down by S-200 AA complex, wich was provided to Georgia by Ukraine. In addition, there is info that Ukraine has provided Georgia with Tor missile systems.
Still, in spite of information from Georgian press, Russia announce two plane casualities - Tu-22M3R and Su-25.
Tu-22 crew is safe and in the russian hospital now.
There is no information about Su-25 crew, but it is very possible they’ve been captured by the Georgian side.
“We are not in war with Georgia, so we still have political contacts with Georgia governement, but for now there is no any reply about our people from their side”.

The discussion is beeing held on the forum here: War in South Ossetia. I’m trying to pass some insider info there about Russian and Georgian forces, as it comes. All the regular news and discussion are mostly welcome either.
