There were more U.S. casualties due to hostile fire during the "cold times" of the Cold War than during the "hot war" of Desert Storm and only 3 less casualties than the Spanish American War (using only unclassified sources of confirmed U.S. Cold War casualties)...and that's NOT counting Korea and Vietnam! (They were part of the Cold War and did not happen in a vacuum. Korean combat casualties were 33,686 KIA and Vietnam's were 47,410 and should be included.)
There was a higher U.S. total death rate due to "training" and operations during the Cold War than there has been in the Global War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan COMBINED!
THE COLD WAR WAS A REAL WAR!

It's now, almost 20 years after the end of the Cold War, that events and figures are starting to come out. Those figures you present are likely to increase as more and more incidents will be revealed by both sides of the conflict.

I especialize in the Soviet Naval Aviation in general, and the TU-95 "BEAR" especifically. I already published a Historical Fiction novel called "BEAR: Flight to Liberty", about the defection of the crew of a Soviet Navy's Tupolev TU-95 RTs (Bear D), from the USSR to Canada, on August 4th, 1976. This novel is available through amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. I also have written other articles about the subject. I invite all those interested to visit my website: www.bearflighttoliberty.com. Spasibo!
