I found the number of casualties inflicted by romanian troops on the Germans and Hungarians but nothing about the Red Army. Is the number known ?

The total number is unknown and very hard to calculate. There were many situations from 1943 onwards when a Romanian company or battalion was included in a German battalion/regiment. How do you tell exactly how many of the Soviets were killed by the Germans and how many were killed by the Romanians in that sector?
But from time to time one can find some figures of Soviet casualties (especially POWs) for a Romanian action. |

Hi, A related question, under this topic, would be: How many Soviet airplanes were shut-down by the Romanian Royal Air Force in 1941-1944? Florin |

During my research, I came to conclusion that an estimated 1200 Soviet, American and German airplanes were destroyed both in air and on ground, during W.W. 2. This number of 'kills' amounts to an estimated 1800 ARR victories, according to the unique Rumanian scoring system. Dénes |

Hi, The Romanians claimed they captured 222 German airplanes on the Romanian airports, in the days following August 23rd, 1944. This I remember I read in a "Historical Magazine/Magazin Istoric". Also during the fast advances of 1941-1942 the Romanian ground troops captured Russian airplanes on the abandoned airports. In that "1200" you considered only the "kills" of the Romanian pilots? Because if you considered also the anti-aircraft batteries and anti-aircraft fire from various ground units, I think "1200" is underestimated. Florin |

The 1200 number refers to the the kills made by ARR, not by the AAA. Those were about 1100 or so.
