aerial munitions

The expenditure of aerial munitions in the operation went beyond expectations, taking some 3,000 tonnes, a third of the total stock of explosives.

"Sir, we used over forty percent of our combat stock of aerial munitions against the Bolo," General Villiers noted anxiously.

The total still would not equal the 1.6 million tons of aerial munitions used in Europe by United States aircraft in World War II.

This expenditure of aerial munitions dwarfs the amount of munitions delivered by artillery, which totals eight shells per NVA soldier believed to have been on the battlefield.

The United States dropped 6.3 million tons of bombs and other aerial munitions on Indochina in the seven years beginning in 1965, when sustained bombing raids began over North Vietnam.
