A total of c. 70–80 kills are attributed to Strela-2/2M hits between 1971 and the Fall of Saigon in April 1975, almost all against helicopters and propeller-driven aircraft. As in the War of Attrition, the missile's speed and range proved insufficient against fast jets and results were very poor: only one US A-4 Skyhawk and one South Vietnamese F-5 Freedom Fighter are known to have been shot down by with Strela-2s during the conflict.
