It is only a MATTER OF TIME until tigers attack. It is as certain as the sun and the moon. A complete fishing/movement ban in the surrounding areas must be imposed NOW.<BR/><BR/><B>Suicide bombers, frogmen, TAF, locally manufactured mortars, etc., etc. WHAT’S NEXT?<BR/>Guys, we are just playing by their rules. Every year they come up with some new shitt and we invest millions of dollars to counter that. They need only a few thousand rupees. In the case of TAFs a few thousand dollars. They get air borne only once in a blue moon but we are wasting money/time everyday to counter them. <BR/><BR/>Someone said the biggest weapon of terrorists is terror. LTTE is using it with EXTREME SUCCESS. </B><BR/><BR/>There is only one answer.<BR/><BR/>Finish off the tigers ASAP. Think like fishermen. If LTTE were fish and the SLDFs were fishermen, what would they do? They will ACTIVELY SEEK large tiger groups and kill them; when large groups die, they will seek smaller ones.<BR/><BR/>While sustaining the battles along the FDLs, start a MASSIVE VIGOROUS thrust to mulaitivu with a lot of fire power, navel power and airpower from the safest route. This will invite the enemy for a fight ‘cos the loss of mulaitivu is HUGE. Concentrate and kill the MAX, plunder tiger assets, set forests on fire as required and take mulaitivu. <BR/><BR/>Out of the 4 battlefronts, the welioya front is most feared by the tigers. Because it can extend to mulaitivu – the most secret tiger hide out. That is why,<BR/>1. they used TAF to bomb welioya <BR/>2. created a BIG noise when the STF was deployed in welioya<BR/>3. attacked SLN boats off nayuru lagoon many times<BR/> <BR/>This will force the remaining LTTE cadres to disperse and regroup elsewhere, shift their most secret installations elsewhere or do without them. Plunder their remaining positions immediately thereafter.Moshe Dyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762527540378686097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-21744180181716380632008-05-16T11:08:00.000+05:302008-05-16T11:08:00.000+05:30Hi DefenceWire, Got Couple of points for you.1. Th...Hi DefenceWire, <BR/><BR/>Got Couple of points for you.<BR/><BR/>1. The US Navy trains dolphins to detect enemy divers and to detect even attack them. If you Google you can find more info on them (this is one link I found (http://www.eurocbc.org/us_military_dolphins_deployed_persian_gulf_01mar2004page1498.html) <BR/><BR/>Why not, we too use this ? In the long term it is a good idea, dont we have dolphins in sri lanka ? Ofcourse they should know how to identify an enemy diver from a friendly one, but thats something worth venturing on. <BR/><BR/><BR/>2. This is the most important thing , what about Colombo Harbour ? I'm sure you cant spell out the measures taken to prevent you know who from fishing it out from here. But I HOPE that SLN has taken effective measures against divers in Colombo harbour. It wud be a economical disaster if it happens. <BR/><BR/>Remember divers caught/found in the west coast (Negombo area) when they tried to enter Colombo harbour, who knows whats in store, once again we better be prepared.RomeoAlphaFoxtrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636976456011332290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-36061138051242899242008-05-16T09:41:00.000+05:302008-05-16T09:41:00.000+05:30great pics cascthanks for sharing :)are those regu...great pics casc<BR/>thanks for sharing :)<BR/>are those regulars??? quite heavy armament...can see multiple LMG's within the same unitUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186351038561364738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-83687854289357483522008-05-16T09:36:00.000+05:302008-05-16T09:36:00.000+05:30Panhinda...visibility might be a big issue there.....Panhinda...<BR/>visibility might be a big issue there... especially in deeper waters penetration of light is only upto a certain depth...<BR/>rainy season also tends to wash in silt and stuff and give good cover to intruding frogmen...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186351038561364738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-27124808411211687702008-05-16T09:34:00.000+05:302008-05-16T09:34:00.000+05:30please forgive the amateurish view on this...
