On 04 April 1995, The French Press Agency in Hanoi released partial information concerning casualties: That North Vietnam suffered approximately 1.1 million military dead and 600,000 wounded in 21 years of war. Some of these casualties came from AAA/SAM crews manning anti-aircraft defenses; as well as N. Vietnamese MIG pilot losses. 21 years of war, was not defined. Released figures from another source show: approximately 400,000 communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and 360,000 communists in South Vietnam in 1969. Data was COMBINED NVA/VC. The drop in figures from the high 1968 mark to a low in 1969, was most likely due to losses from the 1968 TET offensive.

Vietnamese soldiers used tunnels primarily for strategic advantages during the Vietnam War. These underground networks provided concealment from enemy forces, protection from aerial bombardments, and safe passage for troops and supplies. Tunnels also served as bases for launching surprise attacks and ambushes, allowing soldiers to disrupt enemy operations while minimizing exposure to counterattacks. Additionally, the tunnels facilitated communication and coordination among Viet Cong units in a challenging and densely forested terrain.
