I cannot read this, but the twitter caption mentions that a Russian airfield at Kherson was attacked and 30 helicopters were destroyed. The Ukrainian claimed losses also all of a sudden mentions 68 helicopters (yesterday it was 48). So something seems to have happened, but I have not found any other source yet (let alone pictures or videos). Would be a major attack if true. https://twitter.com/expatua/status/1500741561159663618

This could be two pilots from the shooting down a Su-30 today over Nikolaevskoe.
The picture of a fireball could be this one.
I had no picture of the aircraft, overwise I had not shown this.
The pilots are masked.
I don't believe so. When that one crashed there was a video of a pilot in an orange flightsuit that was mentioned as the (a?) pilot of this crash. But the video of those two pilots that hammarö linked was also on the web on the 5th already.
So we agree on this Erwin? Two pilots that are blindfolded on their knees are also featuring in another video when they are in prison. On the link above their orange suits are still visible in the background and some parts are still hanging of the shoulder of one of them. The guy on the right states the same name and the guy on his knees in the orange overall which sounds like Major Golovin Alexey Sergeevich and I think he mentions that he is the "aircraft commander" (pilot) while the other on states that he is the WSO (at least something with Shturm, which is attack or something like that).

I don't think so, but maybe. On Saturday three videos of captured crews came out that are not easily linked to crashes. One was the one you linked, another was of two pilots in the back of a pickup truck (might be the same, both had bloodied faces, but not bandaged I think) and the third was the below one. This one (single pilot only) was at the time said to probably be from the burned out Su-30 in the field. But not confirmed. https://twitter.com/Ukraine_AF/status/1 ... _oG55qIomA

According to a Russian speaking friend the two guys in the back of the truck were part of a helicopter crew. The guy in the blue flying suit was a pilot from a helicopter unit at Zernograd and the captain in the green outfit was a regular crew member from Millerovo and this guy didn't wear a flying suit so was definitely not part of a jet crew. So these guys were probably involved in one of the two Mi-8 crashes on Friday and Saturday.
I am checking further on MilitaryAviationInUA on twitter and they do indeed say that the video you linked was of a Su-30 crew. They also say two Su-30s where shot down on the same day in the same area.
Anyway, there is another video of a guy in an orange suit. Probably same guy, certainly same type of suit. In one of the comments it is said to be a "Naval Fighter Pilot Flight Suit VMSK-4". So he is a pilot, just not sure from which plane. https://twitter.com/GirkinGirkin/status ... txuq78hSqQ
