Two other countries Pakistan and Ethiopia did the same and lost their provinces of East Pakistan and Eritria respectively. East Pakistan and Eritia seceded and became independent contries...
The difference in the two cases when compared to SL is clear to anyone who can think straight.
Those populations had the ability to declare independence and hold the ground.
You can't.
Because we beat the crap out of you and take it all back, just like we did after Ranil gave the LTTE virtually all control over the whole north and east.
We just keep taking it back, and in the process decimate generations of eelam nattamis. Now you are the fourth smallest population, next to what is termed 'miscellaneous'.
That's why eelam is just a joke. At least to us. |

Good Morning to the Sri Lankans..
I thought the forum might be interested in knowing some details about the LTTE vessel attacked last week of the Eastern Coast .. After a little digging and a few phone calls .. I was able to ascertain that the vessel was indeed carrying SA-14 MANPAD's.
The LTTE has used SA-14's in the past, around 1997/1998. The SA-14's in 1998 were obtained from a Belgian arms dealer in Bulgaria who obtained them illegally from a diverted transfer from North Korea to Vietnam by black-market traders. Although this missile is a second generation MANPAD its IR seeker is far inferior to the optical seekers used on the SA-16 or SA-18, and is acknowledged to have been successfully defeated on several occasions by using multi-spectral flares - which is a more advanced derivative of the standard flare used on most dispensers on current combat aircraft .. if I am not mistaken I believe the SLAF got a shipment of MS Flare Dispensers from Israel in 2003.
If my history is correct I think the LTTE first used SA-14s against SLAF Kfirs on the 13th of August 1998 - they attempted to shoot down a SLAF Kfir C.2 and a Super Scout UAV on the same day - both attempts failed.
Incidentally the attack last week was carried out by 3 Kfirs 2 x C.7s and 1 x C.1 from the SLAFs 10 Fighter Squadron (CF721, CF725 and CF720). I was also informed that the aircraft were carrying CBU-52 Cluster Bombs obtained from Pakistan .. 2 bombs were carried on each aircraft on the centreline MER. I was told that CF725 released both bombs, CF721 and CF720 did not engage the target according to my source.

Dear Mr. eelanathan
What are the aerial reconnaissance and offensive air systems that SLA is thinking of?
Im not exactly sure what you want to know here?
If you want to know what the SLAF currently has, you can visit the following thread:
http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1012999#post1012999
It gives a complete breakdown of the aircraft currently used within the SLAF :o) ..
If this question means something else .. please elaborate..
And in which areas of Northeast are they be concentrating on!
Again im not quite sure what you want to know here?
If you want to know about SLAF operational bases the following website will give you a detailed breakdown:

Sandman,
You can dream so long as it fulfils your wishes, no country that bombs its own people can keep it united. You will learn this bitter fact as times goes by. I am not in the business of forecasting but narrate the historical fact to the barbarians. |

You are Dead Right !!
The sinhalese are totally united. All muslims and most tamils are united with us.
And most tamils are opposed to the LTTE.
Tell the barbarian hiding in a hole in the ground in Killinochchi, sodomizing abducted little boys, what happens when bombing its own people..
A generation from now, whether there is a bunch of tamils who don't like the rest of us, won't matter. There simply won't be enough of them to cause a rucus, and the few would most probably be among the most illiterate and politically insignificant. |

Dear Mr. Dishan
Thank you for your kind words :o) ..
Now with respect to your questions:
i would like to ask you what's da latest on the the SLAF news front of course only to the extent of you can indulge us in.
Well as far as im aware the SLAF is busy training its personnel on the effective use of new and old equipment in its arsenal, improving its understanding of the current tactical ground situation by conducting aerial reconnaissance, awaiting the re introduction of its MiG-27M ground attack aircraft and carrying out non critical operational and intermediate repairs on its combat aircraft and helicopters. I can tell you more I guess the next time something of any strategic relevance happens in your country :o)
i kno this may be a long way away but wat does its Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air missile accomplish and how it ...and how is this missile superior to air-to-ground and air-to-air conventional missiles??
Having BVR air-to-air missiles (BVRAAM) and a BVR capability allows the pilot to engage an aerial target using information obtained from the aircrafts offensive sensors, like Radar and IRST, without having to make visual contact with the target. This will allow the pilot to destroy a target from distance and avoid getting involved in a dog-fight which can get messy and the outcome is unpredictable. In essence this capability will allow a less manoeuvrable aircraft to successfully engage a more manoeuvrable target because the pilot does not need to cue his weapon system to point at the target as is commonly required in dog fighting scenarios - this will become less of any issue with modern air-air IR missiles who have a high bore-sight engagement capability. The size of the aircraft transmitting radar antenna and amount of transmitting power will determine how effective the platform is in BVR engagements. The size and power of the JF-17's radar will allow for a decent BVR capability.
A BVRAAM cannot be compared to an AGM (air-to-ground missiles).. they are two totally different weapon systems targeting two totally different targets.
Most AGM's today are inherently fired at distances close to BVR (-37 km) or greater. E.g
AGM-65 Maverick - range = 27 km
AGM-84 Harpoon - range = +80 km
AGM-88 Harm - range = +48 km
The JF-17 is an all weather multi-role aircraft capable of engaging targets at all speeds and altitudes within the conventional flying envelope. It is able to carry out surface attacks and undertake the interdiction role, the aircraft can also strike at long distances.
The aircraft can carry short-range, beyond visual range, anti-ship as well as anti-radiation missiles. Additionally, the carriage of high and low drag bombs, laser guided bombs, run away penetration bombs and cluster bombs. Pretty much everything in the PAF and PLAAF inventory.
Hope this helps
