I don't know of official sources of data but I've seen that 4 out of 5 are shot down by Russia.

20% on target, through enemy air defenses, could still be devastating.

Armour that blocks 80% of bullets would be great against a sniper, far less against a machine gun at close range.

We can see that in the headlines. Massive targets are being hit everyday. It would be nice if the numbers were better but they are enough to matter
