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.
