Update from Astra:
Z-channels confirmed the destruction of Russian Su-34 bombers near Krynki in the Kherson region
Earlier, the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced three downed Su-34 fighters. According to Z-propagandists, the Patriot air defense system worked on the bombers.
“ In the situation with the tragedy near Krynki, where today the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a competent air ambush, working with Patriot in conjunction with Avax, I am most amazed at the behavior of some of our bloggers, who essentially conveyed objective information to the Ukrainian on the results of the work,” writes the tg channel “Older Eddas."
According to the Fighterbomber channel, which is close to Russian aviation, at least one plane was lost: “Everyone was taken away. Living and dead. Earth is the sky…The Patriot air defense system has been preliminarily tested.” Voenkor Kirill Fedorov claims that there were more planes shot down, and that the pilots of one of the Su-34s were able to eject.
“Moreover, there is a possibility that this was another friendly fire from our air defense, and not from the enemy. Since initially there was information locally that it was the MiG-29 that was “highlighting” targets for the Ukrainian air defense, and decided to engage in air combat with our flight pair - the Su-34 and the Su-35 covering its work. And the result, allegedly, was that the enemy’s MiG-29 was shot down right under Chaplinka, located in our rear, which is almost on the border with Crimea,” states the Gray Zone Z-channel.
From what I have seen, Su-34s dropping glide bombs is about the only somewhat effective air support Russia has been able to provide their troops. With the previous flight profile for these attacks suddenly resulting in an entire wing of Su-34s destroyed, Russia will almost certainly have lost that tiny bit of air support they previously had.
