#3  The following claims 49 helos destroyed. The accompanying sat photo shows what looks like helos on the left and a few on the right. The middle is unrecognizable but could be destroyed aircraft.

#2  Don't know if 30 is true or even if it can be verified. Other sites also report an arty strike on the Kherson airfield and multiple helos destroyed. Only time will tell.
