Notes:

According to official Kuwaiti publications, all these air-to-air kills should have occurred on 2 August 1990. On this day, however, the Iraqi Air Force (IrAF) and the Iraqi Army Aviation Corps (IrAAC) have lost only three helicopters to enemy action, all shot down by (according to Iraqi sources) "unidentified aircraft". These were a single Bell 412ST (shot down between 09:00 and 10:00hrs in the morning, as well as a Mi-25 and Bo.105 at noon). Without additional data, and foremost more specitic details about above-mentioned claims by KAF pilots, it is impossible to confirm any of them.
