| 90,000 professional soldiers supported by tanks, multibarrel cannons and Sri Lanka Air Force Kfir fighter jets and MI-24 gunships were also engaged, providing support fire to the SLA forces. are battling child soldiers numbering 2,100 is something every extremist Sinhalese must feel proud of.
Other proud achievements are digging 13th Amendment from the history museum and insistence on 35 year old Unitary Constitution of hegemonic rule over the minorities. |

| LTTE should put the fight through laying claymore , booby traps and long range guns without losing its fighters and let the SLA walk with the lost , let them struggle with supplies and holding and guarding no man land , this will force them to move the supplies and arms dumps close to the battle front , then LTTE should come up with agenda . |

SLAF recently took delivery of six F-7G aircraft which will primarily be used for interceptor role. Unlike the older F-7BS and FT-7 aircraft which the SLAF has been operating for over a decade, these modernized versions feature advanced avionics, upgraded engine, improved radar (KLJ-6E), surveillance capabilities and the ability to fire a range of air to air missiles.
Oh.. sophisticated aircrafts just to counter few tin cans in the air? Commission must be very high!
