Army's 'Carrom-Ball' Gunner
The Sri Lanka Cricket Team's new spin wizard and Artillery Regiment Gunner Ajantha Mendis did the Army and his country proud off the battlefield and at the Cricket Field yesterday by decimating the world's best spin players, the Indians to win the Asia Cup. We at DefenceWire wish to congratulate Ajantha, the self-made Cricketer and soldier for this amazing feat!

Soldiers are performing well in all fields, the battlefiels and the cricket field. In cricket field they have beaten much respected oponents such as fellow cricket players from South Asia. In the battle field, they have beaten LTTE terrorist scum like upul.
Long live armed forces of Sri Lanka!
Long live Sri Lanka!!
upul the LTTE terrorist,
The rightful plavce of LTTE racist terrorist scum like you are the unmarked graves reserved for faceless terrorists. You neither have nor deserve a place in the civilized world. You are mere nothing. Please act knowing where LTTE terrorist low life scum like you are detined to be at.

well upul the terrorist,
By looking at the garbage poring out of you foul mouth, I can say that you are a perfect fit in the LTTE terrorists. No amount of education and training can bring yo to the level of an ordinary human being. Therefore, you shall know where you are destined. Once again, act knowing your position in the civilized world, i.e. refuse.
dear DW,
thanks for the article.
please delete comments posted by unworthy individuals here who are incapable of adding anything valuable to the blog but make personal attacks on other (often good) bloggers.
SLA is poles apart from the LTTE. it is a REGULAR, LEGITIMATE, PROCEDURAL, HUMANE, COMPREHENSIVE AND PROFESSIONAL army. its officers excel in many things apart from the war just like other regula and legitimate armies around the world.
LTTE tried so hard to falsely PROJECT that they are a regular army by UNIFORMS, DESIGNATIONS/RANKS, OWN LAWS, VISITS TO RENE AND OTHER WEAPONS FACTORIES, MAINTAINING BURIAL GROUNDS FOR THEIR CADRES, HAVING CEREMONIES AND OTHER BULLSHIT.
ajantha's feat has shattered all hope for the LTTE to equate to a regular army against the SLA.
well done ajantha mendis! what a performance!
let this be a forerunner to beijing olympics where SLA gunners take part (this is public news) in shooting events.
sport? LTTE? what sport for barbarians!!
He has help defeat the Indian "army". Congrats.
Upul, child prostituion is despicable and not warranted but that should be discussed in lnp and not here. If you wish to argue with the military facts do it, else reframe from turning this into defencenet.
Congratulations to Gunner Ajanta Mendis who has brought honor and glory to Sri Lanka and to the Sri Lanka Army. For a fighting army with limited resources for other activities, the SLA has done a remarkable job identifying and nurturing sporting talent.
http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20080613_04
i think we should only use him in the finals so that other teams have lesser chance to get use to him
Londonistn salutes you young Ajanthan Mendis. The country, the army and every sri lankan walks a little taller today (we are proud of you)!
As for the most undervalued player in the 'Old Commonwealth' countries (England, Australia, SA, NZ, etc) - Sanath Jayasuria; JUST WHAT a LEGEND he weaves... (amazing)!!!!!!
Well done Ajantha Mendis!!!
Once the war is finished, we will get all the 11 players from the SLDF.
Navindran,
Are you saying that Defencenet has become another LNP?
All the best to Ajantha Mendis.
Twenty years ago, to play for the National Team would have been something unthinkable for an Army Soldier.
When people are at the right
places anything is possible.
Long live SLA.
I am wondering what happened to Lasith Malinga.
Congrats to Ajantha Mendis
he has a good future in cricket
since an indian company has been given permission to seek for oil in the mannar maybe ltte naval force around the area will decrease??if the ltte try to attack or do something to the indian company they will not stand back. the indian naval force will block all the arms ships aka the floating armory's or just destroy them.
but there is a risk that while these things start there might be a chance for VP to escape to India.
i just got this idea
well done to ajajntha mendis!!! he was superb in the finals.
the inner meaning of this story is about the high mentality and the morale of the SLA.if the SLA would have been down in morale and mentality he would not have made the sl xi.that shows that SLA is one of the best and disciplined armies of the world..
as moshe dyan says,
"sport? LTTE? what sport for barbarians!!"

Congratulations, Ajantha.... and thank you for making all Sri Lankans proud.
It's very satisfying to realize... that while 'poor', 'sinhala', 'village' boys make international headlines in sport and achievement... the 'great' and 'fearsome' LTTE bastards become fertilizer... day after day after day...
Kill more of these pigs... and we will achieve more.... It's fun!
This is a classic example that that LTTE's terror... is opportunity (in disguise) for us to excel... in all departments...
We must target to become the Israel of the South Asia... nothing less.... it's certainly a more realistic (but challenging)... dream than the fake Kaboomland!
Leaders... think big... because Sri Lankan nation thrives under pressure.
...And the miscalculation by the LTTE pigs and their coolies that they can bomb us into submission.... must be allowed to CONTINUE...
Think about it...
Their miscalculation that we are MODAYAS = Our profit!
everybody needs to be on 'alert' mode
black tigers may come back to katunayaka or anuradapura
lets hope these attack(s) can be defeated

To quote the president... 'yakaata bayanam sohone geval hadaida?'
Nope... we should not stop any activity / event because of fear.... but we must make sure all possible security measures have been taken and be vigilant.
Sri Lankans have been pushed to the wall by the LTTE terrorists.... and no one on this earth can dictate terms to us on how to fight them and their coolies.
Video-taping and finger-printing of cross-sections of TASSLs is a great, effective start... in order to identify LTTE coolies hiding among us.
We shall prevail.

I cannot wait to get into the rich land of all Sri Lankan homeland areas of Killi and Mullathiv... and start cultivating bananas and cash crops...
I have large orders from the US and the Middle East, which I cannot fullfil...
I hope the president will do justice to us SISSLs... allowing to buy and sell land from the North and East...
The privileged TASSLs, on the other hand, do own land in all areas of the proud land....
We also need to give away free land from the NE to our heroic troops and their loved ones.
That's awaken the daydreaming separatist coolies in fantasyland called 'Tamil Elaam'...
we can play cricket bcos of the sacrifices made by SLDFs. if everyone plays cricket and not defend the nation, their cricket is short lived.
but the war is NOW more interesting than cricket. so SLA guys prefer to destroy LTTE cadres than wickets!!
"tamill TRADER shot dead"
who?
why?
you can't find answers.
but you can if you correctle replce the letters DE with ITO. then it reads, "tamill TRAITOR shot dead"
why? bcos he was a traitor to the tamill cause selling goods when TNA calls a shutdown
who? LTTE, bcos he was a traitor to the tamill cause.
ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS IS PART OF THE SOLUTION!!

I hope the president will do justice to us SISSLs... allowing to buy and sell land from the North and East...

TASSLs have been owning prime land every nook and corner of teh country... particularly in Colombo.
I have no issue on that. What I consider unfair is that SISSLs are prevented by some law in buying land in the North.
I agree that it's time we sued the autorities as a first step.

ORBAT on defence.lk has been updated to show the current position of all divisions with 61 placed in a holding role.
It also shows 56 division in Vavuniya. havne't heard of 56 in this area befoer, have they been inserted recently?
where was 56 operating from all this time?
DefenceWire,
According to Lankadeepa, Ajantha is promoted to 2nd Lieutenant by the president. Have you ever heard of a promotion of a non-commissioned officer to a commissioned officer? Is this one of those rare events? In any case, I like to see the opportunities given to non-commissioned officers to be commissioned officers based on battle field merit and other requirements.

No foreign army for SAARC security – Govt.
Leader of the House, Nimal Siripala De Silva, told Parliament today (July 11th) that no foreign troops would be brought down to Sri Lanka for the security of foreign delegates attending the SAARC summit in Colombo next month.
He said that media reports that claimed the arrival of a team of soldiers from India was false, and a propaganda attack by the JVP.
The minister was responding to JVP MP Bimal Ratnayake, who wanted to know the truth of media reports that alleged the presence of a 1,500-member strong Indian military contingent since July 09th.
indian PM not coming ?
some sinhalas got excited that the indian army are coming. now sinhalas government says no indians
hehe...

Ravana,
I think you are refering to the Main road cheakpoint..
The problem with that is that road is used by Many vehicles..
Not to mention the Girls school which is also nearby..
The Area is also home to many industrial activities also.
So Im not surprised people can pass that point without many cheaks, Though it would have been better if more random cheakes were conducted. This road links to Biyagama & also links to weliweriya etc..
The refinery has another cheak point in the road which goes just infront of it & also at Main gate where eveybody is cheaked (If comes by Main Road). Still there are loop holes but those are things not to be told here...
But it is certainly a place which can be attacked if Planned..
:(
Well then again just think how many vehicles goes on to Colombo everyday without cheaked..
Hmmm...

SLA deploys night recon flights to deter LTTE troop buildup

This is an interesting article. There can be many who would oppose the views of this writer (who is considered as an ultranationalist in the NGO circles).
http://www.divaina.com/2008/07/13/feature20.html
You guys remember few weeks back that some of us were suspicious what caused the mass killing of 25 LTTE cadres in Vavuniya front since the bodies were in good condition.
The word is out that one government supported LTTE cadre infiltrated this Charles Antony squad who stationed at Vavuniya, then started this mass killing with the SLA support.
LTTE haven't decided the final venue for the grand slam event, it looks like Jaffna. Until then, stay tuned for government punnaku or cooked up news archives of DN.
Tamils should avoid posting in DN which is nothing but MOD. Whenever you question the SLA hierarchy, your posts will be deleted. Apparently DW is much better than DN who is home of Assithiri filth and the old headline news.
DW,
the significance of the article on the delaila PALM increased recently as SLDFs used a similar tactic according to TN. TN claims that SLAF uses a new range of UAVs to locate LTTE positions at night and simultaneously use MBRL fire on identifies locations in the northern FDL. we may achieve a closer result this way to what the missile was intended.
Bhairav, thanks for the news. Good to see some terrorists seeing the light and turning on their own brothers.
Moshe, I think there is a difference between attacking FDLs and decapitation attacks deep behind FDLs. I thought the PALMs can be an alternative to Tomahawks used by the US in decapitation attempts on Al-Qaeda.
lankapura,
yes the PALM was introduced in the article as a weapon of choice for decapitation attacks.
but it can be used against large troop build-ups as well. in the SL context we have VERY little chance for decapitation attacks. that also cannot be handed over to a computer/remote control as ALOT of civilians are involved bcos LTTE leaders ALWAYS hide behind civilians.

That means nearly 900 Killed in last six months and if we consider the wounded accroding to his statement no one wounded in this year.. what a lie is this ?

this clip has been on youtube for a long time, doesn't look like anything in SL. If you look at it in slo mo you'll see it's a fake. i am no pro in anlaysing video footage but look at the foliage and the landscape when the shot is fired, suddenly changes. the banan type tress are never seen when the camera pans towards the right again.
the usual BS
it's the same with some of the so called various'new' clips posted on youtube - all of them have old stills. OTOH there's nothing new they can show in terms of achievements other than the tactical withdrawals
anyone who can tell us what this article is all about
http://www.pathivu.com/?p=1999
Shan / Lkdood,
Yeah I think Shan is right. A lot of Russian Mi24s were shot down by Mujahideen with these shoulder-launched missiles supplied by the US. Luckily the LTTE monkeys haven't been able to obtain them so far. From what I can remember one monkey got caught trying to buy the stuff in US.
What I meant to say was the part of the footage is probably from Afghanistan.
