the US House of Representatives Committee on Armed Services released a report 
which noted that American intelligence had assessed that 388 tanks had been 
destroyed in a particular zone in Kuwait. However, analysis of photographs taken 
by a U-2 plane of this area immediately after the cessation of the war showed 
that, in fact, the air campaign had only destroyed from 166 to 215 Iraqi tanks 
in this one zone. The mistake made by American intelligence was caused by the 
absence of a definite system of assessing damage caused to the enemy, and 
intelligence agencies changed methods of assessing the destroyed Iraqi hardware 
several times during the war. 
<P>By most published estimates, in 1990 Iraq had a total of about 5,500 tanks, 
of which apparently as many as 4,200 were deployed in the Kuwait theather of 
operations. Accepting the highest USCENTCOM claim of 3,700 tanks destroyed 
during DESERT STORM, post-war Iraqi armor holdings should amount to about 1,800 
tanks. The lowest reported number of tanks destroyed was about 3,000. And based 
on the reported vagaries of damage assessement by various intelligence agencies, 
the lowest estimate of tanks destroyed might be about half the highest claimed 
number, or about 1,800. According to one estimate, using spare parts and 
equipment salvaged after the war, Iraq managed to return to service most of the 
2,500 tanks that survived Desert Storm. </P>
<P>The UN and Kuwait say Iraq has not returned extensive Kuwaiti military 
equipment, including 245 Russian-made fighting vehicles, 90 M113 armored 
personnel carriers, and 3,750 Tow and anti-tank missiles. <BR><BR></P>
