These figures reflect air-delivered munitions expended by tactical elements of the USAF, USN, and USMC during the 1991 Gulf War, excluding any cannon rounds that may have been fired and missiles fired by US Army helicopters. The numbers may include rounds that were not actually fired or released, such as weapons jettisoned or lost aboard aircraft that were shot down. (Thanks to Jussi Saari for pointing this out.) All costs reflect 1991 US dollars. Source: Gulf War Air Power Survey, Volume 5.
