ARe the supply routes for Tigers stopped ?
I doubt that !
The Janes s Defence Weekly said it was in a position to confirm the LTTE made at least one attempt to transport a consignment of artillery rounds by air to rebel-controlled areas in the Wanni.
It said commercial satellite imagery obtained by Jane's confirmed that between 2004 and 2007, the rebels constructed two airstrips that could handle aircraft capable of transporting weapons cargo from Central or Southeast Asia.
While the imagery does not confirm the airstrips are in use, the investment of significant resources suggests the LTTE has developed facilities that can serve air logistic needs at a critical time in its three-decade war with the Sri Lankan State, the reputed defence website said.
