Comparing the German OOB at the beginning and end of the Soviet air phase, we can see that the losses inflicted by these T1 Soviet bombing raids are quite significant.

They amount to:
  • Men: 11,765 killed + 28,358 damaged
  • Guns: 152 destroyed + 305 damaged
  • AFVs: 152 destroyed + 285 damaged
The average Panzer division has about 16,000 men, 140 guns and 215 AFVs. So the VVS has effectively taken out of combat two entire Panzer divisions on the June 22 turn. Also when interpreting these results please be mindful that I am by no means an expert Soviet player, these are some quickly produced test results, and I've seen T1 bombing done by Soviet players who know how to tweak the settings and are getting results that are easily 2x more effective than what I've shown above.
