A Russian military aircraft or helicopter may have been lost during a drone attack on St. Petersburg, according to a Russian Z-blogger, who reported the deaths of pilots. The blogger, known as Fighterbomber and linked to the Russian Aerospace Forces, stated the defense of the sky over St. Petersburg was very costly but did not specify the circumstances or type of aircraft lost. The Russian Defense Ministry has not confirmed the loss.
