Government releases SLA casualty figures for the month of February

The Government of Sri Lanka (GSL) today released official casualty figures sustained by the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) in their operations against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). According to GOSL figures, 104 soldiers have been killed in battle and another 822 have been wounded in the month of February. 81 civilians too have perished while another 201 were wounded.

Casualty figures released today are in league with figures released by DefenceNet on the 17th of February [Second paragraph]. Although exact number of LTTE casualties are not available, DefenceNet learns that the number of LTTE cadres killed in February exceeds 400 (air, ground and sea losses combined). In addition to the deaths, a significant number of cadres have been wounded. According to Military Intelligence, LTTE cadres wounded in these battles are being treated in 9 major hospitals in uncleared areas.

The army is fighting along four major battlefronts in the hope of invading LTTE controlled Wanni heartland; Mannar front (58th division), Vavuniya front (57th division), Weli Oya front (59th division) and national front (Muhamalai/Nagarkovil/Kilali - 53rd and 55th division).

  2. Defencenet,

    What is the breakdown of the injuried? Basically, how many p1s and P2s?

  3. Defence Net,

    Thank you for the information which confirms your earlier report about the 'Singala Tigers'. If Tigers loose their cadres at this rate, definitely they need Singala people to join their military. Don't be surprised if they go to the extent of forceful recruitment which requires one member from every Singala family definitely over 18.

  4. Nice article from Sunday Times


    http://lankamatha.blogspot.com/2008/03/front-line-soldiers-speak-out.html

    .....Head of Task Force One, also known as the army’s 58 Division, Brigadier Shavindra Silva does not mince his words when he says they are out to cause maximum attrition on the enemy by drawing him out and taking out as many Tiger combatants as possible. Brig. Silva offers to identify by name 548 enemy combatants killed and 435 wounded since the 58 Division started their advance on September 22 in what is known as the northern rice bowl of Mannar, west of the Giant tank and north of the Main Supply Route leading to Mannar Island This is from confirmations obtained by intercepting Tiger communications after each operation. The kill ratios are clearly reflected in the number of enemy bodies recovered by each side.

  7. all through out history great military commanders were defeated and battles lost when politics got too embroiled in military strategies, from as far back as the roman civil war between Julius and Pompey to the siege of stalingrad and the battle Britain, and closer to home in the Chandrika era where thousands of poorly trained soldiers were sent out to die for vain politcal objectives, and this 100 dead ahould not be taken as moment of weakness and start getting the two mixed up again, as far as I know 100 KIA is not that bad compared to what americans had to face in Vietnam and Iraq, and of cause americas is far more powerful than us

  8. SS,

    True enough. But we are talking about possibly 926 very poor families in February 08 alone. Add to that the civilians casualties.

    But the war must go on and we must win it. It is a very sad situ. nevertherless.

    We are a sinhalese family and have quite a few over 18's. We would like the tiger recruiters to come visiting. we also know that they specialize in recruiting under 16s more, and can find some of 'em too.

    Anytime would be fine. just make sure they wash their anal region well beforehand.

  14. ----Eastern Elections----

    After so many years GSL conducts elections in east so that people can have a civil administration rather than military one.

    Some might say it is too early to go for elections in east but this is not true as we can see now. People in east are ready for elections. UNP/SLFP/JVP/JHU can't contest not becuz of it is too early; becuz they don't have voe base in east. Those who are based on east muslim congress/tamil parties have no problem.

    It is surprising to see how all the NGOs cry about this election. As they shout all the time demanding democracy, civil rights and civil administration and when the same is offered they now oppose staying in Colombo. As we can see this election affairs so far much better than infamous 'wayamba' election and 89/90 elections under JVP violence in south.

    Every one expects some disturbence from LTTE. Obviously, what LTTE need is not a socaity where all people (including tamils) live a normal life, kids going to school, people do jobs, business etc rather they require unsatble socaity where tamils suffer with unsoled problems. Then only they can claim to be 'liberators'. So this election is at least a small step-begening towards 'post LTTE era'. That's why this has become such a big pain to NGOs.

  16. Only tiger I saw here who talks some thing which make sense upto some extent and honest to atleast himslef in his wrting is abarip.

    Other 'new' tigers are similer to earlier 'seniour tigers' here - boss/upul/silva/ram etc.

    This new tigers (if they are really new) they have misunderstood this forum as SLA forum or GSL forum or Sarath F's forum or MR's forum. If they had read DN articles none of their questions can arise.

    However, we are deeling with real tigers here. SLA is fighting with mostly brainwased, uneducated (how can those kids get any education if they were taken away from school or kidnapped while going to school?) forcibly recruited people who did not have other chioce other than obeying LTTE. These UK/US/EU citizens are not like that. They have 'real tamil racism' planted well in their otherwise empty brain cells. They are the 'real owners' of this war. It's their money.

    Thus, expecting any thing decent from these tigers will probably be useless. They couldn't be happy when MCNS/defence.lk said 2-3 SLA deaths daily. But their happiness on 104 SLA deaths in a month shows nothing but their dissapointment.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 104 KIA in February adds up when one considers the figures MOD had admitted outright as KIAs and the injured figures which later moved from WIA to KIA (which I hear has been around 5% from WIA to KIA, as most WIA have been treated and returned to the battlefronts).

    However, the confirmed+unconfirmed LTTE losses during Feb are estimated to be in the neighborhood of 600+ KIA (outright kills and WIA that succumbed later)and over 530 WIA, most with grievous wounds (based on ground intel).

    Many hospitals in the “uncleared” areas are packed to capacity with the LTTE WIAs lagging in with inadequate med care and dieing painful deaths; as well, many are being housed in shacks without running water, electricity as the hospitals cannot cope with the volumes, per ground intel (and hence the estimated 600+ KIA fig.)

    The bottom line:

    Mathematical models have shown that LTTE needs to have a consistent kill ratio of 20:1 (meaning 20 SLDF need to be killed for every LTTE mf dead) if the LTTE can ever hope to defeat SLDF and form “thamileelam” from Sri Lanka.

    Hilariously, the kill ratio often has been 10:1 conservatively calculated and consistently in SLDF’s favor since this round of “eelam war” began and they appear to think they are winning!!!

    LMSSAO!!!

    Yep, looks like the incest-bred mf’s got the logic backwards! Kinda figures as these filthy retards often get their ass and mouth mixed up!

    LMSSAO!!!

  18. Defencenet,

    When you have time can you please consider comment/article on;

    1) Magnetic bombs
    - How dangerous they are, will it destroy the whole vehicle on which it is attached to? or Do they destroy surounding area too? If so, how much? Is it expleded by remote or timing or both? It is likely such a bomb to be fixed under surface of a vehicle. How likely an owner find out it if such a bomb was fixed to his vehicle?

    2) How likely LTTE-black tigers attack SLA base in south? - A training camp like Diyathalava/ police station/ STF camp etc?

    3) Recovery of toys from a bunker
    -Many guess a family was living in the bunker.

    Thanks in advance.

  19. Evidently, even mothers with infants are not spared from LTTE’s duty call as the LTTE has lost nearly 40% of it’s Nov 2005 strength since this round of “eelam war” began. Admittedly, most of the losses have been inexperienced, little Tamil boys/girls and a disproportionate number of LTTE women thrown into the FDLs to face the oncoming MBTs / MBRLs as the more experienced bloody male mfs are hiding in the back (hoping to bolt – like how the corrupt South Vietnamese army did!)

    Here’s proof:

    What can we do to minimize casualties? How about spending a little on armour for foot soldiers in the front lines? Kevlar is standard, but there must be other ways too. Great if anyone could shed some light on this.

  28. Well, patriots, here’s proof of what I have been saying…about the current political leadership in our country that is acting pivotal to the fine military successes we have seen thus far, which most assuredly forebodes the total liquidation of LTTE mf’s in the not too distant future:

    [Air Marshal Roshan Goonetileke:

    First of all I like to say that His Excellency the President is giving us a good and effective leadership to end this war. In fact the President has given us a framework within which we have the freedom to work. I think it’s good for any force to have this freedom. If you went to the 'Dayata Kirula' Exhibition you’d have seen (a photograph of) His Excellency the President in a ''Kfir'' jet. This shows how involved he is with the air force. Also the Defense Secretary always supports us in every way. He is always with us. He has visited our bases on many an occasion to see for himself the level of security there. We have a very close and interactive relationship with the leadership. In the past we have had good Defenses Secretaries but we haven't had a Defense Secretary like this. It is an advantage for us. He served in the Army. He knows everything about the Air Force and the Navy. When we inform him about a specific piece of equipment we want he used to ask why, don't you need any other equipment also to do this. So he is giving us good support. The political leadership is very important to conduct this kind of a war. We couldn’t have done all what we have done without good leadership.]

    This is not a time for party politics…this is not a time for ethnic politics…this is a time to rally round the current political leadership of our country that is giving the best support there ever was (since LTTE terrorism commenced) to liquidate the LTTE motherfcukers “with extreme prejudice!”

  35. noltte,
    Thanks for the pic. It seems some where in south. But I can't remember this incedent. It seems I am also having 14 days memory. According to this LTTE may use magnetic bombs on a school van/ bus. But I guess this is more difficult to plant compared to just leaving a parcel bomb inside a bus. Unless LTTE use this with some other trick I doubht this become more devastating than ones we had.

    BTW, We will see 'this comment has been removed by administrater' for so many comments. Please don't argue with tiger terrorists and waste your time. I don't think any one argue with 2 year kid or patient in a mental hospital. Let tigers live with their dream, happily. That's all they have finally, after 30 years.

    The incident happened in Dickman's road Colombo 4.

    BTW, guys can we bring back the former glory of this site, as nothing achieved through being worked-up?

    On another note, we should focus on building Sri Lanka as Sri Lankans.. not as Tamils or Sinhalese etc.. We are all Human Race, and fighting and killing would not achieve anything at all.

    First, terrorism should be eliminated with the leadership.

    Then it would allow everyone to clearly think and act in building the nation as Sri Lankans.

    Whether we like it or not, we are in Globalisation and Open Economy model. It is a Game that the whole world play. If you do not play well as a country, you will be out. So, it is an educated decision we have to make.. Do we play the game as a single united nation or do we engage in further in-fighting ignoring the whole game and get kicked out...!

    I certainly agree! You can not negotiate with terrorists.. You should first destroy them, and then should focus on nation building.

    Lets do it first!

  38. I'd like to discuss with you guys, something not related to defence. It's the heart of this ethnic crisis. This is because a character called bees made me real sad yesterday.

    Back in the 50's when SWRD used race to gain support for himself and without a doubt used anti-colonialism when all this started. People got the feeling, a lot like the israelis may have had, that since sinhalese are only found in this tiny island, it should be for the sinhalese. Fine I can understand that thinking, and in a way is required for peace of mind and a sense of security.

    Then the very same nationalism was used everywhere, this was the problem. Nationalism went out of control, we somehow managed to sideline the minorities in things like the armed forces. Then nationalism was abused, this is when the riots happened in 83. Then this entire situation has started being and is still being used by opportunists like the LTTE.

    So I blame SWRD and the previous nationalists for doing what they did and not making sure they took the right measures not to sideline the minorities.

    It was exactly back in this time, SWRD's time, that we were ahead of Singapore. If none of this happened I bet we would be the cosmopolitan pearl of Asia and we could proudly say that the word of the Buddha reigned supreme, now that is something as a buddhist sinhalese I can be proud of.

    Some people like bees, tell me that I am trying to destroy the Sinhalese identity, no sir, if anything I'm trying to make sure that the Sinhalese identity would be a well respected one, if not now, at least in the future.

    Everyone makes mistakes, everyone, and that's nothing to be ashamed of or nothing to hide from the rest of the world, because everyone makes mistakes.

    I wrote that as a sinahlese to other sinhalese like bees who refuse to take part of the balme that goes to sinhalese for this conflict. Every time I hear from them my heart cringes, just as it does when I hear from eelamists.

  48. Kookka,

    A) If the government did do those things, why do you think the government might have done it?

    B) If they didn't then who did it and why might have they done it and continue to do it as the world is blaming the government?

    C) Could it be a mix of both?

    D) All of this are lies.

    If it's scenario A then the government has to explain itself, but chances are it can't because the LTTE isn't a banned organisation in SL yet, do you see where I am getting at.

    If it's scenario B, then it's obviously the opposition parties of the government and the LTTE.

    If it's scenario C, which is what I believe is really happening, all I can say is then the government should ban the LTTE and detain people openly.

    That's a good question, if anyone can answer me, why isn't the government banning the LTTE?

    As for scenario D, well it might be possible, though I don't know why HRW would lie. So I don't think scenario D is true.

  49. Actually scenario D might be true if HRW is politically motivated in some way.

  51. Guys might I recommend this movie:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0861739/

    It's a Brazilian film. This shows very well how the NGO's just don't understand what's going on. Well part of the film at least shows this. It's a great film depicting every failed aspect of a developing country like ours and how the only people who can make things right have to use unconventional methods.

    Then how these unconventional methods are the very same thing that NGO's point at as wrong. IMO this movie shows why the use of unconventional methods is the only way out as every fabric of society is involved in what is wrong with countries like this.

  57. We can argue upon on our own ideas with so many scenarios but, this report is not for us to refer. This report is for IC. One can say all this reports are just lies but base one what we can say that? Can we prove this as a baseless report by showing real facts? Is our GOV or any other organization ready to face this kind of an insult with real facts? I don’t think so. We have open up lots of ways which people can mislead IC. I am not going to say we have to obey the IC but we have to be with them we can’t be isolated.

    Every time something goes wrong our GOV, even MR says we will conduct full investigation but nothing has happened, therefore any donkey can make this country as a horrible place. I can agree with your scenario A or B or C or what ever but will gain anything to this country?
    As I see, this a small step of major plan which our leaders must understand and take necessary action at the grass root level, otherwise this country will be in big trouble and it will bring suffers to not only Singhalese but also Tamils and other communities. For example, when Indian army came to survive the Tamils in sri lanka, the Tamils were who suffer lot more than Singhalese. The Tamil women were the victim of Indian army rape cases not the singhala women. My point is our Tamil brothers who are supporting this kind of baseless report must understand the gravity of this thing.

  61. A top foreign panel invited by Sri Lanka to observe investigations into human rights abuses announced on Thursday it was quitting the island and accused Colombo of failing to tackle the issue.


    The International Independent Group of Eminent Persons (IIGEP), headed by India’s former chief justice P. N. Bhagwati, said Sri Lankan authorities did not meet even the basic minimum standards in probing serious abuses.

    “The IIGEP has decided that it will terminate its operations in Sri Lanka,” the panel said in a statement. It has taken this decision after due consideration and for fundamental reasons.”

    Key international personalities were invited by President Mahinda Rajapakse to observe investigations into 16 cases of serious rights violations, including the August 2006 massacre of 17 local employees of the French charity ACF.

    Sri Lanka's anti-terrorist measures have been so successful since of late, that other nations facing similar threats are watching this test-case intently. This particular conflict is a learning grounds for others since the tamil tigers easily surpass any other terror outfit the world has seen so far in sheer brutality and ruthless efficiency, and a democracy with its inherent bureaucratic inertia is attempting to beat it at its game. What's incredible is the fact that the ordinary Sri Lankans took over 20 years of unimaginable suffering to arrive at a decision to comprehensively and conclusively strike out at their tormentors and finally appear to be quite decisive about it. The Sri Lankan military has responded to the challenges placed before it and the present government, popular among the masses for its strong response to terrorism, yet unpopular among the few elitist leftist liberals, has clearly understood the priorities of national security above everything else, Prior to the present government adopting a tough stance against terrorism, Sri Lankans were used to successive governments responding to attacks on it by the tamil terrorists with varying degrees of responsiveness, which ultimately led to the larger global misunderstanding that the Sri Lankans are incapable of looking after themselves and thus destined to extinction. today the tables have turned and the seasoned terrorists in the jungles of Sri Laka are recieving a battering they've never thought possible.
    For those who are geographically challenged, Sri Lanka is the tear-drop shaped incredibly beautiful island at the southern tip of India.

  74. Then muchugn, we have to understand consequence as well and address them in a smart manner. Same time, those things should not open up another dimension of issues. JR used such an idiotic tactic in 1983 to tackle the problem and open up huge dimension to LTTE. Furthermore, don’t expect India and IC close their eyes and be like blinders and let us to do what ever we like. They are so keen to put their finger in to our issue and they will do it at the first chance we show up to them.

  75. SLA's strategy of illiminating LTTE caders at FDL's before mass troop movements is paying off..That way SLA knows well whether to advance into LTTE areas or not.
    If the SLA can get rid of 75% of the LTTE force, then the rest can be managed with a mass troop movement..


    LTTE's mukkal padai will run when that happens...

  76. Slightly Out of topic,

    Here is what I know...

    I am concerned about these Valient soldiers who get injured on the front lines..Half of the critically injured men can be saved if we can give them immediate medical attention..Most of them died due to excessive bleeading..

    I guess we have a capable minister heading health care in Sri Lanka..If not for the JVP spoonsored strikes within the health sector.Hospitals runs smoothly..However I don't know how much attention the armed forces getting..


    Minister Nimal Siripala is one of thoese government ministers who actually did something for the people, atleast for his own electorate, i.e. Baddulla.....

    In 1994 the Badulla hospital had only 8 doctors..Now it got 65 doctors, and 7 of them are specialist..This was due to his own effort....

    Whoever criticise him , he did something.No one is perfect and he is no exception..

    Here is more good news...

  79. perein,
    Thats realy funny Bro..

    Vigilante,
    Medical attention to Army is out of his scope. It is up to the Army Medical Corps. Nearest consultant led hospitals the ongoing battle areas are Vuvnia Mannar and Trinco. But if I am correct there is only one Surgeon in these places.

    Real need is as you said at the battle field itself. Wethear a life can be saved or not is mostly decided by what is bieng done within the first hour. They call it the 'golden hour'

  80. Vigilante,
    Fully agree with you there bro.But the govt should declare a "state of emergency" in hospitals before they start combat operations.soldiers dying due to excessive bleeding is disallowed by any means

  81. Vigilante,
    Dont assume anything with the LTTE..the Makkal pade..can be converted to a suicide division easily..at gun point i mean..you can have one LTTE hardcore pointing a gun at 5 makkals to blow themselves up against an army advance or be shot..lets see what happens.

  83. Mottapala,
    What you say if the norm in army hospitals is dreadful...could the govt not ask doctors in the non military population to help?..or are these so called doctors money perverts as well

  84. Mottapala,Srilankan,

    Thank you for the feedback..

    It is the people that matters who actually work at these hospitals.I think most of our hospitals are well equipped...It is the human resources that are ignorant...No one has control over that..The recently the GOSL tried to introduce new fool proof identification system for the hospital staff..They protested whemently...We all know why. No one wants to work..Simple as that.

  86. COLOMBO, March 6 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers said on Thursday an Army special forces unit blew up a rebel-backed member of parliament in their northern stronghold with a roadside bomb, and a party colleague confirmed his death.

    K. Sivanesam, an MP with the rebel-backed Tamil National Alliance (TNA), was driving near his home in Mankulam in the Tigers' de facto state in the far north of the island when the blast occurred, killing him and his driver, his party said.

    "It was an Army deep penetration unit," rebel military spokesman Rasiah Ilanthiraiyan said by telephone. "His vehicle was precisely targeted."

    The military was not immediately available for comment.

  88. kokka,

    Well the thing is I do understand that the tigers can only be beat in their own game. That's what the IC and HR watcgdogs can't understand. It's like in that movie I recommended: Tropa De Elte. Watch that, it's a brazillian film and it's war on gangsters, how the police have to use unconventional methods, when everyone around them from the higher ups seem to be corrupt and have something to gain from the drug trade.

    " Evidently, even mothers with infants are not spared from LTTE’s duty call as the LTTE has lost nearly 40% of it’s Nov 2005 strength since this round of “eelam war” began. Admittedly, most of the losses have been inexperienced, little Tamil boys/girls and a disproportionate number of LTTE women thrown into the FDLs to face the oncoming MBTs / MBRLs as the more experienced bloody male mfs are hiding in the back (hoping to bolt – like how the corrupt South Vietnamese army did!)"


    We can understand the reason for the air force attacks had lots of civil causalities including several children.
    Already SL image has been tarnished by the International Human Right Commission. I didn t expect a bad imagination from a responsible Brigadier.
    What a shame for this country!!
