57 follows 58 into Kilinochchi

The 57 Division, Commanded by Major General Jagath Dias, under the supervision of the GOC Wanni, Major General Jagath Jayasuriya, entered the Kilinochchi District this afternoon. The 57 became the 2nd Army Division to enter Kilinochchi in this undeclared operation/war after the 58 Division managed the same five days ago on August 1st.

4 Sinha Regiment (SR), Commanded by Lt. Col. Welikala made the first entry into Kilinochchi today, on behalf of the 57 Division. 4 SR captured the Vellankulam-Thunukkai road last week. This unit is advancing to the west of Mallavi, which town is being completely surrounded as we speak.

I think better to capture Thunukkai before marching into Pallawrankadduwa.
And we have to look for Ltte's secret roots and tunnels...

Theruwan Saranai,
Our thoughts are with you!
May you get yodha bala yoda shaktiya!

IntelAttack said...

Just marvelous!

Lets see what LTTErs got to say about this! ;)

hemantha said...

DW,
It's great to hear that Mallavi is being surrounded.

And please have a look at the following map.
click here

For 57 to enter Kilinochchi they have to march long distances such as 15 km. So they must be moving very rapidly.

Sam Perera said...

DefenceWire,

Isn't this the time we lend a helping hand to front line divisions like 57 and 58? We shall never let these divisions feel the battle fatigue. It is interesting indeed to see how General Fonseka steers the war in this stage.

Danushka said...

i have a little problem, DefenceWire in a previous post http://defencewire.blogspot.com/2008/07/ltte-counter-offensive-severely-beaten.html

says 57 Division is led by Major General Jagath (Chula) Dias. In this post he sais 57th Division led by Major General Jagath Jayasuriya.

General JJ is the overall commander in Wanni, he oversees the all divisions i guess.

just clarify please.

Riyaz said...

ogre,

U sound like u know a lot about these ops!! who are u really, If its going to compromise then just say in general...

and u seem to know some info of the enemy too... how much do u know about them

LKDOOD said...

Good news

DW thanks for the update

Ogre said...

Riyaz

if I reveal this, i wont be able join my buddies in SL.

and i am spending way too much time here

but this is all i can do beside do the right things...we need toys for the boys at home...so they can keep the steel rain on the tigers..
hint..

anyways...all looks good, malavi was so damn scary and too many of our boys lives lost...
DESPITE MY WARNING...

Gringo said...

["57 follows 58 into Kilinochchi"]

What a great day... to coincide with the acceptance of my sponsorship of a child, (of a WO KIA...) under Marion Gunatilleke Scholarship Fund!

That's the best ever 120K I ever spent.

I feel so happy.

All our brave, immortal troops (and their loved ones) can rest assured that patriotic Sri Lankans worldwide are standing by at all times... with outstretched hands... to look after them and their loved ones... in their hour of need.

Because it's Sri Lankans' love and respect for Motherlanka that makes their hearts tick... wherever they are and whatever they do.

Riyaz said...

Its war and its understandable, but our hearts are always with the brave soldiers...

Riyaz said...

Lets hope Mallawi lessons are learnt and thats the last major loss for us

Ogre said...

Plan of attack using general wisdom

when the military target is too complex and has stronger defense advantage, please dont attack it head on...especially when enemy forces have arty pointed right on target...

this is what I warned in Malavi...now Tigers are leaving as encirclement is a serious possibility.

now the next hard tagets would be Mulativu and nocchikuda

why?

b/c LTTE needs two evacuation solutions as well as distractions. The planned attack on eastern front , along the nayaru--->kokkilai lagoon was a bust as Navy was ready for them...(good job E.Navy commander)

malavi thus should not be taken head on as you know our boys have to avoid column formation and instead keep pressure on LTTE arty units North EAST of malavi and keep track of arty supplies along the larger roads (ltte clears roads at least 3 times before that).

remember for LTTE to launch a successful attack they need element of surprise, which we could counter effectively by good ground and other intel.

the BIG cities are nice to capture...but before that...cut the supplies, encircle...then ambush the hell out of retreating cadre...before finally entering ....

Riyaz said...

ogre, so do you think now everything in its place? according to plan?

LKDOOD said...


there is also new information that the tigers are gathering personal

attacks in the south are also highly possible

LKDOOD said...

need to watch out for trouble

Defencewire said...

danushka,
You are correct. I got distracted while writing the post. Apologize for the mistake.

LKDOOD said...

DW

its ok

we all make mistakes

we are all humans

:)

Srilankan said...

Way to go General dias!!.Mr Thambala beat me to it!
Theruwan Saranai to you and ALL our forces,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
May you get yodha bala yoda shaktiya!
God bless you and your troops.

MoratuSaman welcome to the blog

මොරටු සමන් - MoratuSaman said...

Our brave solders are doing well at the moment, but if we don’t handle this Theepan (Mr. Artillery) guy, then we are knowingly heading for trouble.

SLA must use ECM ( Electronic Counter Measures ) type of attack to disrupt enemy communications – so that theepan’s arti guys will have hard time to locate SLA positions.

One more warning once upon a time ltte had an underground chemical laboratory, they use double size container and concrete to build this, anyone of you know what happened to that?

If it still exists then we got a do something

Above chemical lab were our previous politicos mistakes, now our best of the best Sinhalese brave boys have to pay with their life.

Anyhow I am not a military expert in anyway; however I know what electronics all about is.


ohh, thanks lkdood!!!

fantastic advance; stick to the BROAD ADVANCE and "BOX" strategy.

OHOMA YANG OHOMAMA YANG!!

however, i'm still worried about,

1. not harvesting enough
2. SLAF's lack of support in the mallawi sector.

Moshe Dyan said...

hemantha,

how are you friend? thanks for the links, as usual.

"For 57 to enter Kilinochchi they have to march long distances such as 15 km. So they must be moving very rapidly."

they have entered killinochchi DISTRICT.

Oh Ohhh, we're in Kilinochchi. We better watch out for the red bird.

Too bad there is no drama here. I loved reading that red bird crap.

Moshe Dyan said...

moratusaman,

mate, please drop the word, "Sinhalese".

SL's war on terror is shoulderd by ppl of MANY ethnicities (some are not even generally found in SL). it will be hilarious even trying to name them all!!!

wijayapala said...

Rover,

"Theepan is the commander of the LTTE arti regiment. I expected the arti regiment commander to be a arti specialist, perhaps he is not."

Nono- Theepan is NOT the LTTE's arty commander. He's basically the commander of LTTE forces in Kilinochchi, Pooneryn, and EPS areas. He commanded the Charles Anthony Brigade from 1997-8 and commanded the force which overran Kilinochchi in late 1998. In 2001 he coordinated the LTTE's defense lines at EPS and defeated Agni Kheela using more or less the same tactics to defeat Muhamalai I-III recently.

The arty commander is Manivannan and the mortar commander is Gopal (but Bhanu is the founder-commander of LTTE artillery forces and the important one to kill):

http://www.asiantribune.com/?q=node/11324 (look at the last paragraph)

wijayapala said...

STD,

""Will you settle for grandpa?"

"But where are they? All photos appear within legal military age.There are serving SLDF Generals who appear the same age if not older."

Take a second look at some of the older gentlemen with the red background. You should get your eyes checked if you didn't see the scores of children on that website.

"how do you slow down an armed and invading army without fighting??"

By getting in the way.

"Are you talking about Makal padai for guarding villages? Sounds like your Home Guards to me."

Except that our Home Guards are not forcefully conscripted. Minor difference.

""The SLA for obvious reasons does not want to show bodies of dead grannies"
"what is that obvious reasons?"

You said it yourself. It wouldn't do much PR for the SLA (or the LTTE) to show grannies as enemy casualties. That is probably the same reason why the SLA does not release photographs of child soldiers killed in combat.

Unknown said...

DW,

Thanks for the update. Looks like the "jagath" duo are forging ahead very well. way to go 57th!

a small non related question, if you can spare the time. where on earth is Brig. Adeema?? is he still with the army MSTS??
saw one of our boys with a AW/AWP and his name poped in to mind.

I like DW who has down to earth attitude and always balanced.

Danushka said...

i can see somebody is asking to drop the great "Sinhalese" race. The reason for that is according to him , there are many other ethnicities included in this war.

The motivation and decision making of this war is done by Sinhalese. Those who are sacrificing lives are sinhalese ( not a single other ethnic soldier died yet ).

so asking to drop the word "Sinhalese" means you are clearly against the Sinhalese Presence of this island.

You can call me a racist , but it is the bitter truth.

It is the Sinhalese who fight this war. Commander in Chief is a Sinhalese. Defence Secretary is a Sinhalese. Three Commanders are Sinhalese and all the offensive division commanders are Sinhalese.

If other ethnic people are offended because of this , there is no remedy for it. But this is a battle for the survival and rejuvenation of the Sinhalese Race.

So don't listen to those Kalu Suddas and Others who hate Sinhalese. Always be proud yourself as a Sinhalese , and don't be afraid to call this War a battle done by Sinhalese.

One Sri Lanka said...

ogre,

Thank you for your expert comments. Please keep them flowing.

Is it true that we are going to get military assistance from Iran?

I heard that are forces are going to get a large no. of Armoured Tanks from Iran very soon. Is this true?

Thanks.

Moshe Dyan said...

hemantha,

yes; truely amazing.

57 division was just on the boundary of the killinochchi district. they crossed it this week.

they have come a LONG way for the past few weeks no doubt.

Bhairav said...

[It is the Sinhalese who fight this war. Commander in Chief is a Sinhalese. Defence Secretary is a Sinhalese. Three Commanders are Sinhalese and all the offensive division commanders are Sinhalese.]

This is what Buddist monks say- This is one Buddhist country :)

Riyaz should take note of it. LOL!

Moshe Dyan said...

danushka,

no mate, i don't call you names. bcos if i call you a racist, i drop to that level FIRST. you are definitely not a racist.

of course >95% of the SLA are sinhalese BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR EVERYONE + SL and THEY ARE AMPLY SUPPORTED BY MANY OTHERS.

this also means a lion's share of praise should go to them.

the war is about sri lanka verses separatists. if it was a racial affair, the so called sinhala army will not have anyone to fight against! bcos no race on earth is against them!!

onecountry said...

danushka:

Since sinhalese are the majority, armed forces have mostly sinhalese and its commander. You claim that not a single fallen soldier is sinhalese. That is not true. There are many non-sinhalese soldiers were killed by LTTE. Besides, our armed forces should represent all ethnicities. That is the attitude LTTE like to portray of us. But, SL is for all inhabitants. Not just sinhalese or buddhists. In fact, once upon a time, tamils were buddhists as well.

We should not call our army sinhala army. That is what LTTE tell the world. We have a srilankan army. Our past one-sided policies led us to this issue. At least, it is about time that we drop this superior complex.

Danushka said...

Moshe Dyan,

so your argument has no justification for asking to drop the "Sinhalese". The very race who protect other ethnicities. if we were some other race , then minorities are long gone, minorities survive in this country because we are Sinhalese.

So asking to drop the word "Sinhalese" is like trying to kill your own parents.

again what Moshe saying also true,

I really don't want to start Keyboard war here, but I'll we do my share on the ground as a True Sinhalese.

Ah jolly old Mr. Brown and his LNP gang! Weren't you there sometime ago under the handle RAVES? I do recall Raves getting a Brown van ride for making a pedophilic statement ;-D

Dhanushka,

*Those who are sacrificing lives are sinhalese ( not a single other ethnic soldier died yet ).*

Check out the roll-call of the Special Forces. Quite a few of them are Muslims from the NE whose families have been butchered by us, the sole representatives® of the Tamil people. We also slaughtered the 40-odd other Tamil militant groups decades ago to justify our claims of being the afore-mentioned sole representatives®. Do some research on us before giving us undue credit.

Unknown said...

Bhairav
majority of this country is made out of sinhalese and majority of that are budhists...
I also hate narrow minded racists 'sinhala budhists" only folks and i'm happy that's a minority that's heading into to extinction...
But it's simple mathematics and logic to figure out that vast majorities in military will be made out of the larger community...
FYI... tamil pilots have flown for SLAF, attacked LTTE and have sacrificed their lives for the country under one flag...
If you want... search SLAF site and they have names/ranks of fallen heroes and not all of them are sinhalese...

And if monks are saying that this is a sinhala budhists country...they can go and fcuk themselves. those bastards are nothing but trouble and are dumb asses. Every race, religion have same rights cos all of them are sri lankans and that's what important...
Nobody...i mean nobody is better than the other over race, religion issues...

Danushka said...

{not a single other ethnic soldier died yet}

i am wrong with above statement.

But the percentage is less than 1% .

So because of the less than 1% figure , asking to drop the term "Sinhalese" is intolerable.

I respected Moshe Dyan's all other posts before , i have been reading this blog for years. i have participated in correcting the content on this blog (look my post on first ten ). But i cannot respect Moshe's request to drop the term "Sinhalese".

It is a direct threat to the Sinhalese race.

Unknown said...

[of course >95% of the SLA are sinhalese BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR EVERYONE + SL and THEY ARE AMPLY SUPPORTED BY MANY OTHERS.

well said Moshe
all communities are funding this war in both life and limb and also through funds. Still the major share comes from the sinhalese but that doesn't make contributions made by other any lesser.
and it's downright idiotic to call this is a war by the "sinhalese" cos it's not...
It's a war by Sri Lankans FOR Sri Lankans and against any force/forces that threatens Sri Lankans... These threats themselves can be LTTE tamil terrorism to uprisings like JVP or any other rough seas awaits us in the future..

By making stupid statements by saying this is a "sinhala" war only speaks of the level of intelligence of that individual.

Moshe Dyan said...

dear danushka, moratusaman & ranil,

lets drop it friends.

we are on the same camp and there is no point fighting over this TRIVIAL issue when SLDFs are at the REAL fight making a LOT of sacrifices for US.

ppl on the other camp take advantage of it and we don't like it.

[But the percentage is less than 1% .]

mate...you're a Racist and an idiot...simple as that...
what if that 1% had a few individuals whose acts of courage were key reasons for our successes?
what if the LRRP guys or the Spies we have used to get info about Velu's and other top ltte leader movements came from that 1% of yours...
blood is blood mate...just because the numbers are high from one race doesn't make the few from others any lesser and favoring others bases on numbers and painting it with a Race is insulting heroes who laid their life for the country no thinking about your bullshit 1%...
Just when i was happy thinking folks who try to paint everything racial lines are getting extinct,,,idiots like you pop in

Bhairav said...

[do you think SLA will kill VP?]

Yes, son, Moratusaman, SLA will reach Kili next week and kill VP on the process. According to Hemantha,who usually counts km from map than actual ground situation stats, Killi is just 15 km away, that means less than 8 miles, isn't that refreshing you?

Danushka said...

bhairav ,

i have wrote before , go and read the top post by me .

i write only for moments where other people don't pay attention.

Moshe's request to drop the term "Sinhalese" is like asking a Muslim to drop the Quran.

But limit has gone past now.

Danuska, you should not do it..mate. You are real role model for any Sinhala patriots. There are some conspiracy theories about Moshy who at times exposed by "Vijayapala, later then Moshy went rough with vijayapala by calling him son of whore and other sweet words. I would say Moshy can be even LTTE mole in lion skin.

You said that Buddist first bcoz they are majority of this country, then Muslim,and Hindu etcetera. So what's wrong with the Dhanuska's claim that war is only fought by Sinhala?

Do not be biased, mate.

googly_master said...

On military matters , I wonder can the 59 div handle the vast area it is entrusted to tackle all by itself on the East cost. I would think having couple of Task forces to flank 59 (as we did on the western front) would allow 59 to move at much faster pace. In terms of speed, 59 seem to be the slowest of all the offensive div. What do you guys think?

Unknown said...

bhairav
finally you got something to argue about eh...
you must thank these dumb sinhala racists on this blog for giving you this opportunity... just like they did it back in 83'

DefenceWire team
I believe the policy here is that RACIST comments are not to be tolerated right... if that is indeed the case...i'd say you should delete all these posts by racists who are not only an insult to their race but also to this valuable blog. Thank you.

Unknown said...

[In terms of speed, 59 seem to be the slowest of all the offensive div.]

part of the strategy??? or is it ground conditions not favoring for something of that nature???

Danushka said...

no need to drag this further,

Moshe's request to "drop Sinhalese" ignited this. He has no rights to say like that. if he did not make such a statement , these things will not ignite.

ask him to delete his post.

Then i will delete all my posts regarding it.

That's it - game over

Bhairav said...

Ranil..yes we are having field day with Danuska who first corrected DW's mistake, then saved moratusaman's life from Moshy, now we are in real dilemma that who is real patriot.


LOL!

googly_master said...

Ranil,
Ground conditions I assume must be tough given the amount of vegetation and forested area that encompasses this whole area. Still I feel we should try to move along the cost kind of the same way we did along A-32 (may be that is not possible due to terrain).Don’t the sea tigers still have several bases along this cost ?

Bhairav said...

[That's it - game over]

priyashantha said...

Danushka,

When you fight with patriots terrorists praise you. Be careful. This is an old trick.

Will a Muslim drop the Holy Quran just because Moshi deletes his post?

If you had seen the comments on Defencewire, you should know what Bhahirav said about Riyaz and Prophet Mohommed. That sin is enough for him to be born a dog in his next life. Bhahirav's heroes and friends are the same.

As far as I know, Moshi is one of the best bloggers in Defencewire and Defencenet. Many things he said has happened or happening. I'm sure he has some connection to the war. Only problem with him is he gets into unnecessary fights.

I agree with you on some comments.

You have some respect from most users in DW / DN bloggs compared to other LTTE supporters. I would thing the reason for that is you been talking the truth (time to time) as well as thinking before you type.
I'm sure you do not want to be another useless Shyam.
As Hemantha mentioned, should read what he has wrote properly.

Malin said...

@Danushka

What moshe said was to address the SLA as Sri Lankan army not Sinhalese army..
Which is the way it should be. There is nothing wrong in it.

I think you got upset because you feel as he asked to undermine the Sinhalese, but that’s not it, We fight for one nation not a Sinhala nation but a Sri Lankan Nation where Sinhalese are the majority..

Don’t forget that, because we are the majority we have the responsibility of protecting this Nation.

And please stop asking for childish request like remove comments... it’s like saying you will stop crying if moshe gives you a lollypop.. :) LOL

perein said...

Danushka-

We all appriciate your comment. One thing for sure Moshe would never be a raist. However you would need to take the factors like knowing the bloggers and what's their intends are.
Let's drop this and try to move foward ?... Shall we....

Unknown said...

guys,

can we keep race,politics & faith out of these blogs. Please.

shan,

thanks mate, he is the man.

Lankapura said...

Agree with Malin, what Moshe said was to drop 'Sinhala Army', a phrase used by LTTE to portray Sri Lanka as a racist country. A very legitimate request. Let's leave it at that - Danushka can take the advise if he wants.

DW, thanks for the regular updates.

what's the enemy strength in Mallavi?

Danushka said...

@Malin,

You can call it "Sri Lankan Army"

But Listen to Army Commander. He always uses terms "Sinhala Hamudawa" and "Sinhala nation should bear the difficulties until the war ends".

so Even though you and your kalusudu gang is trying to paint a Sri Lankan picture, it is the Sinhalese race who is fighting to protect it's homeland.

Majority of the Sinhalese all around the island strongly believe this.This is not visible in Internet because most of the Sinhalese don't have access for it.

Other ethnicities might serve in the forces , recruited under previous governments who made war a business.

But after the real war began (crushing the LTTE), it is the Sinhalese who are directly engaged at War Front.

Kalu Suddas like you have been trying to undermine Sinhalese race to lollipops for nearly 4 centuries now. So your lollipop theory is no longer effective.

Mohammed Zubair said...

Danushka said

"The motivation and decision making of this war is done by Sinhalese. Those who are sacrificing lives are sinhalese ( not a single other ethnic soldier died yet )".

Wrong mate, Lt. Col Muthalif was a Muslim, we owe much of the successes of LRRP (DPU) to him. There are several Muslims serving in the Navy now, ex-commander of the Navy was a Muslim too. SLAF had many Tamil pilots, there are still some of them. Don't forget EPDP and TMVP are on our side too. If you make this a Sinhala only war, it isn't going to succeed. I haven't come across a single Muslim that supports the LTTE. Agree that there were Eastern Muslims who supported Eelam in the 80s, but they are long gone now after the ethnic cleansing / massacres / expulsions. A lot of Colombo Tamils and majority of Hill country Tamils are on the side of the army. Don't forget that the very first commander of the Army was a Tamil and Kadiragamar had no equal in fighting LTTE propoganda, he is sorely missed.

This is blog for patriots be it Sinhala / Muslim / Tamil / Burgher etc. It crosses ethnic and religious lines. Please don't sow discord here. Thanks.

Defencewire,

Is the location of your new caption photos' indicative of insider info? :o)

I'm curious to know how the new commanders in this front are faring... with the LTTE's arti mage now not being on hand to supervise and all...

What is the status of Laxman after the arti strike on convoy?

Where have the Charles Anthony commanders relocated to after the debacle of their thwarted counter-attack?

Has Vidusha been relocated to counter the Welioya thrust following the demise of the Malitivu Commander of her little outfit?

Is the increased activity of the RABS and SBS an indication of intercepted plans that bigwigs may be making plans to flee via East Coast or is a seaborne AAB-style attack expected?

Is the news of the building of a 'damn' and 'underground railway track' to facilitate VP's exit an exercise in the art of misdirection?

So many questions! They are all reciprocal, obviously.

Danushka said...

mohammed,

no you are absolutely wrong.

Col Mutalif got nothing to do with LRRP. He was leader of the Intel team.

Seems like you have forgotton, there were many muslims /muslim home guards arrested for working for LTTE (like sending supplies for money).

Read my previous post, if other ethnicities serve in Forces , it was under other governments who made a business with it. But they no longer directly involve with real battle being fought right now.

This war is already a success, and its fought by Sinhalese.

I ve been reading this blog for some time now, I see most of the guys who write here regulary have good knowledge of what is happening at the war unlike stupid idiots like dhanushka, I have seen him being a racist at some forums as well, he sort of a guy who appriciate what Mervin Silva does, So no need other guys to worry about this idiot and i hope you will continue the good work what u have been doing. Dhanushka, Pls understand this, This is DefenceWire not ta JHU forum, ppl like you are very much simillar to JHU idiots in Parliment.and pls dont ruin this place with you racial comments,

nice new look DW!!

danushka said...
"You can call me a racist , but it is the bitter truth. "

Because of you guys only that we are still fighting this war. If it weren't for guys like you(sinhala racists) 83' would have been a peaceful year. We are still paying your debts. So please shut up and stay away. Nobody mentioned that only sinhalese have died. They don't even tell a name!!how the heck do you know about who died and who didn't. Don't you remember the number of SLA spies killed?? majority of them were tamils!!!!
Please act responsibly!!

Unknown said...

It seems Dhanushka is correct about Lt. Col Muthaliff being MI and not LRRP

http://srilankanwarheroes.com/admin/upload/9.pdf

Also it is noted that he married a sinhalese woman... Kumudini Amarasingha

Also I believe most muslims, if not all in the forces are Malays? For example Colonel A.F.Lafir. I have a high regard the Malay community in Sri Lanka.

For Dhanushka, you have made a point. But do you agree what is important at this moment is to defeat the LTTE? Let us concentrate our efforts on that. These disagreements we can fight over later. What do you say Dhanuskha (and others too)? Let the owner of this household DW take a decision on what to do about this dispute.

Shall we move on?

Mohammed Zubair said...

Dhanushka:

Sorry, I meant A.F Lafir. Now that's two fallen Muslim heroes isn't it? Yes, they were Malay, so what? You seem to paint all minorities with one brush. Also to get the facts straight, Army Intel works closely with LRRP. Those homeguards who supplied LTTE should be shot so should the countless Sinhala traitors who committed various acts of treason and betrayals. The number one to be shot should be Ranil for raiding Millenium City.

If you continue to post your racist blogs, the bloggers who contribute on defence matters will go away leaving this to be another mud slinging blog. So in the interest of all, I suggest that you, Shyam and Kuttu and all the other racists form a blog elswhere and sling mud willy nilly to your heart's content. That way, we can concentrate on defence matters and the progress of our valiant troops in this blog.

Unknown said...

[Seems like you have forgotton, there were many muslims /muslim home guards arrested for working for LTTE (like sending supplies for money).]

well FYI there were also sinhalese folks doing the same for money from ltte...some were in active duty with our forces. Things like AAB attacks could've never been executed without insider support.. and in your words the "sinhala army" have helped the ltte in quite a few instances even under this government

[Read my previous post, if other ethnicities serve in Forces , it was under other governments who made a business with it. But they no longer directly involve with real battle being fought right now.]

says a lot about how little you know :) is it business when you have to lay your life down for the country. politicians would've benefited and they are even now but soldiers...at least most of them don't have business agendas... they fight for their country risking their lives not worrying about their race or that of the enemy.

[This war is already a success, and its fought by Sinhalese.]

you are an idiot and a racist. I hope DefenceWire will banish you from this blog cos you are an insult to all Sri Lankans who are trying to fight this war united as one nation leaving behind petty racial thinking

[But i haven't given up my battle with Moshe - he is gone silent after few of my responses.

you're the fool who started all this rubbish by being a plain dumbass loser. Sri Lankan army don't want to be a "sinhala army" you racist idiot...
and SLDF is fighting for all with revenue generated by tax payers and the whole country is behind that effort...not only sinhalese
so you rubbish argument that this war is fought by the sinhalese is hollow...just like your head

And for JHU... they are some good for nothing hardline loosers who wants to divide te country further more by getting religion involved into politics... Little wonder that they go caught illegally selling vehicle permits etc etc... Good that most folks go to see the true face of those morons...

Danushka said...

mohammed ,

Again you are wrong,

Lafir was a special forces team leader who paid the supreme sacrifice in 1996. That was not an LRRP team.

Again, i tell you. These valiant men operated in previous administrations.

Current War is solely fought by Sinhalese. soldiers from other ethnicities are not deployed on operation areas.

Riyaz said...

Sri Lanakan, what is it regarding me?? I cant find anything

Dhanushka,
Bro, A true patriot is aperson who loves his country regardless of racial and other issues, Its true majority of the forces are from majority community, it doesn't mean the minorities except those who are terrprists and terrorist supporters are supporting it. i think SLN and SLAF have considerable amount of minoroities. My eldest did serve SLN. Now he is retired. So lets put this race issue behind us and support wholeheartedly this great effort by our fellow brothers!!

I've been reading your heated comments for some time. Though I don’t comment I’ve been a enthusiastic reader of DW (& DN) from the early days.

Guys this is a pointless argument first of all :). You can call SLA as a ‘sinhalese’ army (because its almost consists of Sinhalese) but still it’s Sri Lanka Army and they are fighting with our common enemy which is LTTE.

Dhanushka,

LRRP does include minorities (especially because they work closely with MI). They do have ex-LTTE guys working with them. Rather than discouraging them we should appreciate them for the guts they have to go against LTTE.

SLA is there to represent all the PATRIOTS. Disregarding the ethnicity anyone can be a patriot if they really love their country. I agree with mohammed here.

It’s nothing about the credit we get but its about our motherland. So lets stop this useless dispute and salute all the heroes who fought/ are fighting for the country.

BTW I’m a Sinhalese and a Buddhist if anybody wants to knw :D

And hey DW.. thanks for the regular updates

"Ohoma yang Ohoma yang! :)"

Ok I got the point!

*While racism is to be condemned I think many are ganging up on Danushka for the wrong reasons?

From his/her past few posts she seems to be espousing Sinhala pride and not Sinhala superiority or hegemony( I could be wrong).I think that( and likewise Tamil/Muslim) pride is alright as long as it does not automatically translate to looking down at the other race?
There are posters here who often calls for settling Sinhalese in north directly or by innuendo, who mocks Tamils on their 'oily' skin or dark color, or who even implies sexual assault on them--which the others sidestep or even cheer on.
So the newfound priorities seem suspect?

පංකාදු ලංකා said...

Sun Tu,

Slight correction/elaboration re. Ranil's translation for “Kalu Sudda”.

Kalu = Black (or dark)
Sudda = White person, slightly derogatory word to describe a white westerner, particularly an Englishman or person of European origin with white skin.

Kalu sudda = dark whitie - a self contradicting derogatory phrase to describe an ethnic Sinhalese who has forsaken his identity and/or is trying to be like a white western/european/american person.

Kalu puka sudda = Dark bummed white person – even more derogatory phrase to describe above person - implying that no matter how much one tries to be white, the buttocks which cannot be seen are always dark. Hence, one cannot change their ethnicity.

Sinhala is quite an interesting language. Certain things sound much better when expressed in Sinhala. That is why we use phrases like “ohoma yung” (which Ranil has translated well for you).

3.Boru- lies/fiction/tamilnet” – ha haa Ranil, I like that definition…

think as sinhalese what we gonna get after winning this war?
do we live in a massive fear like innocent civilians(majority of tamil and muslim)in the war zone?

with your little brain you cant understand that this war is about saving people living in north. our forces,our men shed their blood,sacrifice their lifes in order to save those innocent peoples' future.. They are going through hells, spend
weeks with out a sleep(its true and not just a emo sentence) and they have only a one hope..one target...
its not about winning MR in next election
its not about being a national hero.

but its about saving innocent people who are tamils and muslims.

How about the army in the UK calling it the “English Army”? It would be incorrect both technically and politically. It should be the “British Army” because the vacancies are open for all British nationals be it English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Asian, Black, etc. Indeed there are non-English soldiers in the British Army, I believe (though very small in number).

I don’t read this blog often so I don’t know much about Danushka’s posts. S/he claims that SLA commander Sarath Fonseka calls it “Sinhala Army”.
________________________
But Listen to Army Commander. He always uses terms "Sinhala Hamudawa" and "Sinhala nation should bear the difficulties until the war ends".
_________________________
Apooo…is this true? I am not saying it is. If it is true, SF should change his protocol with immediate effect.

The SLA website calls it “Sri Lanka Army”. Most regiments of the SLA starts with the words “Sri Lanka”. So how can the collective unit be called anything different? Even if SLA is indeed made up of 100% Sinhalese it should not be called “Sinhala Army” because SLA jobs are open to any Sri Lankan (see SLA website jobs page – being Sinhalese is NOT a qualification, being a citizen of Sri Lanka is). It should be “Sri Lanka Army”.

We know that there are most ethnic groups (if not all) serving in the SLA kicking terra butts. Hats off to all of them - we salute you, one and all!

Having lived in a Sinhala society, we have can differentiate between trash talk and true racism. As you are well aware, such parties loose their deposits (with the election com.) in elections for not getting the minimum required votes. Therefore, it is not a new found priority but the general direction the society goes. Racism and terrorism should not have any place in the modern Sri Lanka.

Virus alert & others - well said guys!

Guys, please ignore this Danushka (or is it Peter, Shyam or Bhairav??), he’s pretending to be on our side but he’s really a tiger. Tigers always call SLA “Sinhala army”, “Sinhala invaders” etc. and this guy is trying to prove that tigers are right in calling SLA "sinhala army". If he wins, that is a win for terrorists and separatists. So, by association, he is also a TERRORIST.

Danushka is showing classic sings of belonging to tigers. Tigers also label anybody who opposes them “traitors”. Danushka is doing the same by calling some Sinhalese folk “kalu sudhdha” (i.e. something similar to a traitor as far as I’m concerned).

Danushka, patriotism is an interesting phenomenon. You cannot quantify it ore measure it or classify it in anyway. Patriotism displayed by each individual is unique to that individual.

Have you forgotten our history? Have you ever heard about thero S. Mahinda? He was no Sinhalese, but was his service to Sri Lanka less important than that of a Sinhalese?

Get a life man, don’t piss against the wind. If you don’t know about something, just keep your mouth shut.

23 Sri Lankan soldiers killed in Claymore ambush in Batticaloa
[TamilNet, Wednesday, 06 August 2008, 10:29 GMT]
23 Sri Lanka Army (SLA) soldiers were killed and four wounded in a Claymore ambush at Periyavaddavaan in Tharavai (Thoppikkal) area in Batticaloa district Tuesday evening around 6:30, well informed sources in Batticaloa told TamilNet. Wounded soldiers were admitted to Welikande hospital. This is the first major ambush on SLA since the Sri Lankan forces occupied the Thoppikkal region an year ago.

However, military officials in Colombo said only one SLA soldier was killed in the ambush and three wounded.

The SLA soldiers were traveling in a truck.

There were similar patriots in the past like Cyril Mathew, Gamini Dissanayaka who burnt libraries and "taught" a lesson to innocent tamils during 83 July. We are still paying for those cowardly acts. That is the reality.

Punchiraala said...

I do not think people should worry much about the comments made by Danushka. He seems to be in a dream of a non-existant pure sinhala state. May have intoxicated with some chavunistic ideas of part of JHU guys.
I do not think brothers and sisters of other ethnicities, get his ideas seriously.

I just wonder whether this guy (Danushka) is part of LTTE propaganda team. What he is trying to convince others is exactly what LTTE is also trying to convince the world through their propaganda network. May be this guy want to disrupt the support we get here from other ethnic brothers (True Sri Lankan brothers).

Please beware of him.

Look I was against what Dhanushka said but i am 100% with what SF said because the two statements are world apart for a intelligent mind.

SF: He talk about how majority cannot be ruled by a minority.. his point was sinhalese as the majority should have power to run the country. But he did not say that because of that we should suppress the minorities. infact if i remember correctly his comment was that if we are to get out of this big hole that we have dug, a political solution is must for all the parties (including sinhalese) . But to achieve a political change as that first LTTE must be defeated.

I wish there are more politicians who think like that..

"SF is acquiring $500k+ Benz for his city roaming while Sri Lankan Defence is cutting costs by eliminating evening tea from defence forces."

A) Can you please point me to the source of this information, both the $500k car and tea? Otherwise, this dialogue is only based on a rumor.

B) Hypothetically speaking, if it is about saving the life of the commander of the army, especially General Sarath Fonseka, I will double that money in a heartbeat. He is the master planner of the anti-terror ops and arguably the most successful Army Commander. His loss will be a big loss for Sri Lanka and big gain for LTTE terrorists. Therefore, spending $1 mil is not a problem.

C) The evening tea is a very fascinating point. I am not sure exactly how the soldiers get an evening tea when they carry combat kit to the field. War is not fought like a school session so that all combat ops stop for tea break?

D) Why are you, a known LTTE supporter, worried about how Sri Lankan Army misuses (if any) money? Shouldn't it be the other way that you remain silent until SLA goes to hell?

Please respond.

Hi Orge

The above information is not accurate at all. MI24 and MI17 need very little amount of servicing compared to US helicopters.

I can correct it this way. MI24 needs about 10 X human hours of labor for a mission. This should include refueling time, rearmaments ECT. Rearmament is not done during refueling process for obvious safety reasons.

It only needs 20 hrs servicing or weekly servicing which ever comes first. And this servicing does not take even 2 hrs.

It is a pretty reliable machine mate….

1. those who support for term "Sinhala" provide total miss-information. Anyone who has any interest about this war should definitely know that there are non-sinhala war heroes both living and dead. I would never accept that ppl dont know this fact.

2. pro-tiger clan is lost and have no help but hide their heads under sand and disrupt the anti-terrorist discussion. I dont know which ethnic group Dhanushka and Bairav and clan belong to. It is immaterial. There is a significant amount of ethnic sinhala supporting tigers. In Colombo, NGO/Leftist etc are all out in war with anybody who talks against barbaric tigers. So clearly it can be a pro-tiger ploy.

3. It can be total ignorance or lack of any idea. Maybe they never lived in SL, and the life of ours is like a fairy-tale for them. So in that case it is not our duty to change their dream-worlds. If you want to know about SL, you dont have to live here, but most ex-pats and their children just learn about our country. So you can find out the sources available for you. We dont have to educate anyone of SL matters. True patriots find those w/o any issue.

4. For whatever reason the core topic is disrupted here, either intentionally or unintentionally. I dont like that happening.

So all in all, my idea is following.

- Let's drop this stupid debate all together.

- No need for anyone to take back anything. Just ignore the people who talk rot.

- Let's please focus on the key topic. is 57th operating in 'nochchi district? how hard will be Mallavi? is there a chance to take over Mankulam now, or shud they move northwards? ppl like Ogre seem to have some sources. Let's pls talk about those now.

Let me wish the SLF the greatest of success, and may they bring peace to all the innocent souls of the nation, of all ethnic groups.

ජයෙන් ජය ම වේවා.

Hi Guys

Any more information re the Indian or SLAF helicopter landing due to a technical failure?

1) Is India supporting our forces / Training or covert operation?
2) May be a rescue mission of an LTTE top brass
3) What is it doing in SL air space? Or is it on a recons mission on maritime border and SL is the closest. So it landed in SL.

ok I'm speculating, but bit intriguing.

Any info pls
Cheers
