Given enough time, the military is truly going to decimate the LTTE. The only hope they have now, is to prevent the forces from attacking the LTTE. The way to do that is to take away the will of the Sinhalese to fight, and force the politicians to hold back the military.<BR/><BR/>And comments like above, are how they are trying to do that. Take defencenet for example, there are a few Tamils pretending to be Sinhalese and praising the army, but they try to put that piece of doubt in the minds of others reading the blog, implying operations are failures, or military planing is really bad etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>Sadly for them, no one important really gives a shit what they have to say.Illegal.existencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607233043045287352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-33783068933175486922008-02-02T02:13:00.000+05:302008-02-02T02:13:00.000+05:30nice article defencewire,..keep up the good work.i...nice article defencewire,..keep up the good work.i mean great work!!Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-68477174542308886942008-02-02T01:49:00.000+05:302008-02-02T01:49:00.000+05:30So your saying hundreds of SLA are dying?

DW is parroting what defence.lk is saying. How can 2:1 ~ 1.5:1 casualty rate between SLA:LTTE go to 1:10 after Rajapakse tookover ? Were former SLA Generals (like Kobbegaduwa), Brigadiers and the like first class fools ?? <BR/><BR/>This blog is descending into spreading fairytales and loosing credibility at the speed of a shooting star. They are getting more desperate as the frontline news has turned ugly. This gratifying to see. When these defence fan sites claim bunkers be taken over (something thats not verifiable by those not on the frontlines) then it means no progress was made, but some politican wanted a positive newsbite for the hundreds of soldiers killed and injured.<BR/><BR/>If DW was publishing when EP fell, he would have claimed, EP was the most fortified place in south asia and has 0 chance of falling.Upulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848096525564433090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-17439153445972429542008-02-02T01:06:00.000+05:302008-02-02T01:06:00.000+05:30Scores of LTTE bunkers destroyed: ColomboLINK<B>Scores of LTTE bunkers destroyed: Colombo</B><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://srilankainfocus.blogspot.com/2008/02/scores-of-ltte-bunkers-destroyed.html" REL="nofollow">LINK</A>LKDOODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18426997279106115254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-69710169766191529922008-02-02T00:02:00.000+05:302008-02-02T00:02:00.000+05:30huh after long time DW done the home works...wonde...huh after long time DW done the home works...wonderfull article....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044449480664345026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-45199735495855113882008-02-01T23:59:00.000+05:302008-02-01T23:59:00.000+05:30Very informative article.

With American training techniques, and actual experience gained in the battlefield, I bet our Special Forces are among the best in the world.<BR/><BR/>A couple of things about the attack on the Mechanized division passing out parade, in todays <A HTTP://WWW.DAILYMIRROR.LK/DM_BLOG/SECTIONS/FRMNEWSDETAILVIEW.ASPX?ARTID=5364 HREF="" REL="nofollow">Daily Mirror defense column</A>, the writer says "<I>A military official claimed that due to the shelling a vehicle was damaged while one soldier was killed and several soldiers were injured."</I> Is that true? <BR/><BR/>And also, he says if the Army positioned heavy artillery on the Mandathivu islands, attacks like this could have been avoided. That seems far fetched, cos the edge of Mandathivu is less than 4 miles off the coast of Jaffna. Anything we could do form there, we should be able to do from the mainland.
