It should be noted that in all six of these incidents, four Russian aircraft were shot down by elements friendly to the Russian military, including their own troops. It also should be noted that the tiny Georgia air force, after an initial bombing raid in South Ossetia at the beginning of the war was not a factor in the fighting.

And for all the guffaws, finger waving, finger pointing, and haw haws that will follow in the comments, this information was put together by a Russian blogger using publicly available sources.
