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.
