In total, the United States military lost in Vietnam 3,744 planes, 5,607 helicopters and about 1,000 UAVs



What surprised the US the most is not the losses of soldiers but the losses of planes that North Vietnam (with the aid from USSR) managed to inflict onto the US military.

Nice tread .. Looks like we do not have a Vietnam section here . Can we create one under ASEAN and move this there? @mods?
