These were Raytheon radars. Tamilnet claims they were from Raytheon canada. These countries will only sell non-lethal weapons to us, so it is quite possible. Read the above article for more details.<BR/><BR/>perein,<BR/>Yes the Pallaikuli attack is accurate. <BR/><BR/>lkdood,<BR/>The bus attack is also true. It took place near Madu church, in LTTE controlled area.

Encircling the area and cutting off reinforcements and depriving supplies was a good tactic because it spared the church from damage and avoided civilian casualties. I would hope the same tactic is followed in future offensives aimed at capturing towns and villages from LTTE. <BR/><BR/>"Jayasikurui" op for example got bogged down with a lot of casualties trying to capture Oddusudan. Its better to avoid Urban Warfare because it provides the defender, in this case the LTTE many places for cover and many opportunities for laying booby traps and mines.Jambudipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894590544311665214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-53721611783248008832008-01-29T09:35:00.000+05:302008-01-29T09:35:00.000+05:30This is the type of counter battery radar we need ...This is the type of counter battery radar we need (direction finding Point of origin and Point of impact)<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-battery_radar<BR/><BR/>From Iraq<BR/><BR/>http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/the-devils-foyer.htm/<BR/><BR/>Battle Captain say, “Give me a POO” [Point Of Origin], and then he turned to a sergeant and said, “Do we have POI?

A difference with distinction.<BR/><BR/>Our bases have something called Counter Battery Radar (CBR), and when a mortar or rocket is launched, the computers on the CBR can calculate the POO before the bomb lands. The enemy knows this, and they know we can fire “counter battery” cannon or mortars, or that we might have jets and helicopters just moments away, or forces on the ground nearby. Lately, Iraqi police have joined the list of options for killing mortar teams.

In 1988, General Zia ul Haq and most of the Pakistan General Staff were killed <BR/>in a plane crash. In 1992, Lt. General Kobbekaduwa together with Major General Vijaya Wimalaratne and Rear Admiral Mohan Jayamaha, where killed by a land mine blast. They were all in the same vehicle. That single explosion put Sri Lanka backwards by about ten years. Even in most international companies, senior corporate officials are not allowed to be on the same plane.CASChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362520666064815560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-29339142927403864662008-01-29T03:12:00.000+05:302008-01-29T03:12:00.000+05:30The cat and mouse games they play with artillery w...The cat and mouse games they play with artillery will cease when FLIR is made to hover around Poonaryin area during ground offensives.

SLA are also in complete control of Periyatampane. SLA also control Uylankulam and are very very close to Adampan junction (along Uylankulam-Adampan road). SLA are in control of Mantai west area. The Madu church is around 3.5km away from our existing FDL in that area. The Avenue of Approach that captured Periyathampanai is now advancing towards Periyapandirichian. In Weli Oya, the operations are still starting, so no major developments to report yet.Defencewirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358848115700373983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-20608064248092972872008-01-28T22:17:00.000+05:302008-01-28T22:17:00.000+05:30DW-Thank you for that cracking info.
