The Sri Lanka Army (SLA) formations deployed in the Mannar district captured the Madhu Church today evening. The holy shrine and the surrounding area are now under the complete control of the army. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fighters who had camped inside the no-war-zone departed the area in face of the army advance. It was initially feared that the tigers would blow the church before the army captured it. According to our sources the church has not been seriously damaged in the countless artillery duels which took place in the past several months.
Search operations are still continuing. These will continue till the army verifies the area is free of booby traps and IEDs placed by the fleeing tigers. The operations in these areas are being spearheaded by the 57-2 brigade of the army's 57 division.

Latest milestone in the ongoing Wanni operation comes only a day after the Sri Lanka Army suffered a setback in the northern front. Pro LTTE media elated by LTTE's success yesterday, published news stories which claimed that tigers inflicted heavy casualties on SLA in the Mannar front. These stories are false. Although it is true that the army suffered heavy casualties in the northern front, the situation on Mannar, Vavuniya and Weli Oya remain the same. 57, 58 and 59 division which are leading the offensives into Wanni have the tigers under pressure.
With the capture of Madhu, army is now focusing on Palampiddi where the rebels maintain a base which is sometimes used as an artillery launchpad.
Meanwhile fresh intelligence information from the north indicated that the actual number of LTTE deaths in yesterday's battle is around 80. A further 200 are said to be injured.
This is a REPEAT of the same policy.Vacate the church because it is now only a building because the sacred statue is not there.wait for the army to move in.when LTTE intelligence sources say the army has occupied the church and surrounding areas use artillery to kill as many soldiers as possible..nothing has changed.How many LTTE mf's did we actually help to attain maveerhood in this skirmish?
ReplyDeleteWe take this moment to reply to a comment left by one of the bloggers in previous thread:
ReplyDelete"Blogger koly said...
DF has become another copy paste news blog. coping frm DW, defence.lk, tamilnet.. etc"
(we are assuming 'DF' is DN misspelled)
First of all when we started DN around one year ago, we never anticipated it to be this much popular. So DN will never be a conventional news site or anything of that sort ever. It is a blog which we will update when we have the time (and when we have the time only).
We have no desire to be the first to report nor to become the most popular defence blog or anything like that. In fact we do not take pride in bragging "we are first" after posting a news item related to a war which consumes several thousands human lives a year.
But the fact that we report later than others should not necessarily mean we copied from them. It is up to the readers to judge the credibility of the site. So we would not comment on this issue hereafter.
Regarding comments:
The comments situation is getting out of control. We've seen a lot ranging from hilarious comments to pretty sadistic ones too. Hereafter do not ask why your comments were deleted. Chance are that we didnt like it. If your freedom of expression is being violated, go open a blog and post there.
Dont use racism, offensive language, misinformation or pure bullcrap and your comments should be fine.
out of the topic:
ReplyDeletedefencent, your professionalism is so high although this is only a blog and lots of ill people come here to sabotage the news source.Keep up the good work!

Sri Lanka: 15 SLA killed, weapons seized in Mannaar fighting - LTTE
Liberation Tigers Military Spokesman Irasiah Ilanthirayan Thursday said that the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) abandoned a fresh attempt to advance in Mannaar from Cheaththukku'lam towards Veaddaiyaa Mu'rippu after heavy resistance from the Tigers. The offensive push was launched by the SLA around 5:30 a.m. with the support of Main Battle Tanks and artillery fire. 15 SLA soldiers were killed, more than 30 SLA wounded in the confrontation. 1 LTTE fighter was killed in action, according to Mr. Ilanthirayan.
Meanwhile, LTTE officials attached to Operations Command in Mannaar told media that they have seized five T-56 type 2 assault rifles and six-thousand rounds in the clearing mission.
On Wednesday, the SLA attempted advance from Paalaikkuzhi to Adampan at 2:30 p.m. and suffered heavy casualties. Exact casualty figures were not available.

only peace can solve the problem. what happened in muhamalli ? undestand that war can only lead to killing of our innocent people. poor youth join the army to earn something for their family and get killed.
100+ soldiers are killed and 400+injured based on your own sources.
if that is the case, we have lost 500+ people's service. think about their family
how many we will lose in this country. how long ?
in this war no one can win, understand this

My Shadow,
ReplyDeleteThat’s pure genious, well done!
Why can’t you answer a simple question? You were in here a minute ago discrediting DN and I asked you a simple question and you cut ‘n’ paste one of your ready made documents.
Answer the simple question.
As we know the BBC is the bastion of impartiality isn't it? I find the BBC news to be ridiculously biased. Not just the news articles which are written with a flavour of bias towards the LTTE but the frequency and incidence of the reporting. If you did a count of articles regarding government setbacks vs LTTE setbacks you will see that the BBC consistently is more likely to report the former. I am not sure if this is LTTE infiltration or whether as liberal westerners they support the perceived underdog. I don’t think they understand that this war is not a David vs. Goliath but a David vs. David. Just one David happens to represent the people whereas the other represents the mad wet dreams of a dictator.

ReplyDeleteThax for the update. Is it true there is a leadership change in 53 division after yesterday's blunder? Any idea who will lead 53 now?
Answer the simple question.
ReplyDeleteyou first tell me what you have achieved in this bloody one year war ? nothing but bloodshed
iqbal athas says history repeats itself. army has not learned from its mistake
not only army, but the political leadership. they need some victory before the easten elections. so they are pushing innocent army people into war.
why this sudden thrust into muhamalli. foneska went to jaffna and pushed for this ? why ?
MR needs victories
MR pushed poor youth into muhamalli and our people are getting killed.
why ?
you answer me this ?
did we achieve anything ?
"i have the right to comment when i think is appropraite. you dont need to dictate that to me."
ReplyDeleteOf course you have the right. We were merely pointing out the fact it would have saved blog space.
As for the capture there were no big fireworks as this was in the pipeline for a long time now. As predicted, eventually it did fall.

You said that DN is unreliable and you were wondering if you could believe DN.
My question to you is, if you don’t trust DN and think BBC is better, why are you wasting your time here?
it may be that Gov. websites are waiting for a Auspicious time to post the news
ReplyDeleteDN,
ReplyDeleteWhat did LTTE do differently to us when they overran EPS 8 years ago? They did it without air support, so in theory we should be able to do the same. Or is it just that SLA was terrible at defending their base (due to various reasons such as poor leadership, moles etc.) and LTTE are far superior in this regard? Or does it boil down to poor leadership on our behalf again?
Did we use air power using the battle? If the battle was 11 hours long, then that would have been plenty of time for SLAF to react. Is there anything going on here that we simply not aware of?
Thanks!
Parakrama,
ReplyDeleteIf you read the news on defence.lk the impression you get is that the airforce engaged the enemy at the same time as the army which means at 0200 hrs or very early in the morning or shortly after?,..this ass typing this rot is reading from a WWII novel.at least he/she kept the "wee hours" and "stiff resistance" out ..thank god.If the airforce helped we may not have saved many soldiers (sadly)because they died due to mines/booby traps but we may have killed more of the LTTE crack troops from the blue rhino division.
Now what ...
ReplyDeleteWith the pounding the SL Army just took in the North and the fact that your troops are advancing on other fronts I suspect that the LTTE may only have enough artillery to confront your forces on a single front and deliver the type of damage they did.
If I was in their place I would be guessing that your troops in the north would not be advancing any time soon. First they will probably wish to secure their position, next they will need some rest and time to get reorganized. Therefore, I would pull a significant amount of that artillery out of the north and send it to another front in an attempt to damage another division. It might also give off the illusion that they have more artillery and ammunition than they actually have.
Second, I would have my workers digging new fortifications behind their current line on the Jaffna peninsula so that the LTTE defenders could utilize a similar defense again when needed.
What you need to do is to pin that artillery in place so that it cannot be rushed from one front to another. Supplies of fuel might be an issue trying to keep your air force flying all the time but you need a way to cut their mobility and make the LTTE use up their supplies.
You need low cost drone planes equipped with night vision cameras to determine where supplies are being landed and when. Some supplies can be flown in but sufficient supplies to fight a war require shipping. It would be to your advantage if you could obtain video proof of the source of those supplies. Drones could also be used to monitor LTTE unit movement. You may be able to move a group of soldiers and hide it from aerial surveillance but it is a lot harder to hide trucks hauling around artillery and mortars.
Parakrama,
ReplyDeletesorry that should be the violet panda division
out_sider,
ReplyDeletevery well said..but i think it is much harder to do due to logistics
Srilankan,
ReplyDeleteNice one!
I was under the impression that the biggest killer was their artillery! I think their artillery is the main threat. I wonder why we can’t do something like this:
I'd break out of the FDL en-masse again with artillery & tank backup at night time pretty soon. This should be a diversionary tactic as our main aim for the moment is taking their artillery out.
As out_sider said, LTTE may not be expecting such an attack just now, so they will be caught off guard. I'll have the whole fleet of MI24's hovering just off K-point when we break out, so if LTTE open up with their artillery, then we can pick them out one by one!
I said diversionary tactic as our aim should not be to hold on to territory, it should just look that way to LTTE. That should be enough to get their long range-arti out of the bunkers and should give SLAF a good window of opportunity to take them out.
If, for some reason, LTTE don't open up with artillery, we should then deploy plan B, which is to fortify the land that we just crossed.
Defencenet,
ReplyDeleteI want to second commando's statement. Your team does a very professional job and provides a public service to all Sri Lankans.
Thank you for your valuable service and keep up the good work.
Is SLA still holding onto the LTTE FDL that they said they captured yesterday by advancing 500m?
ReplyDeleteI believe DN news as it sounds more logical than any other conventional news.
No we will not be holding on to that 500m.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, the Nagarkovil FDL was not lost. However there were no gains but high casualties from that front.
And the casualty figures do include Nagarkovil casualties.
As for news sites not reporting the capture, maybe there is not much to report. It was not a firework packed dramatic entrance into the Church premises by SLA. It was in the pipeline for months and eventually fell as was predicted some time ago.
My_Shadow,
Mail your solutions to the LTTE and see if they will agree.
DN glad to hear about the progress.
ReplyDeletemyshadow is indeed whining about not seeing news anywhere else.... and seems to be agitated about not hearing about this from anywhere else.
if everyone had access to the sources as DN (even DW and any popular blog )
that would be meaningless.
almost like going to buy sugar when you already have it...
i like using dumb examples like that so bear with me..but i think it gets the point across.
lets hope the morale of the forces stay high and no petty politics gets in the way of wiping out the ltte leadership for good.

ReplyDeleteThere isn't any www posting about this matter if the SLA capture the MADu then it will be hot news in every media and Specially defence.lk but there is nothing ......
Keheliya Rambukwella once again told the media about the dead line to capture the Wanni ..he further said that the GOV will capture it before the end of this year .... (I don't know when they gonna deny what they told to the medias today)
SLA casualty toll increase to 176;
The Officials have brought the corpses to the funeral Parlors of the soldier who have been killed in the yesterday clashes;now they are ready to hand them back to the SLA but they are still have problems in the Uniforms.(SLA didn't hand obver the Uniforms to the Florists)
In Borella (JEyaratna florist) 76
In Battaramulla - 37
Madambe -30
and 33 SLA are still missing and they believed to be dead in the clashes; so the total is now 176
20 SLA KIA in Mannar in last 24 Hr fighting and the SLA forced to withdraw from the 1st FDLs which they captured today morning ....

as you mentioned that the SLA have 10 LTTE bodies then they can display the actual pictures rite?
Probably officers as well, going by their English.
ReplyDeleteMy Shadow, keep refreshing the "Daily Mirror" site, the news of liberation of Madhu will appear eventually, then let us know would ya?
ReplyDeleteShyam & all the other tigers,
ReplyDeleteI remember you guys (even last week) laughing and joking about SLA’s inability to capture Madhu & Adampan. What do you think about the situation now?
Yes, defence.lk is crap, but reality is fast catching up with tigers and no matter how you guys jump up and down, slowly but surely SLA is moving towards Kili from Mannar & Weli Oya, that’s the inevitable truth.
I can see you guys come up with this “tactical withdrawal” from Lima Base 3 & Madhu.
Oh, no I forgot, they didn’t “tactically withdraw” from Madhu, they just didn’t want to cause any damage, so did the honourable thing by withdrawing!
stupid,
ReplyDeleteRead your own tamilnet.
"Police in Kodikaamam on Thursday handed over six dead bodies, of three males and three females, claiming that the bodies were of Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) combatants, recovered by the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) at Mukamaalai in the Northern Front, on Wednesday. "

ReplyDeleteOh, no I forgot, they didn’t “tactically withdraw” from Madhu, they just didn’t want to cause any damage, so did the honourable thing by withdrawing!
wait a little buddy the msg ain't confirmed yet so be calm .. have you seen any posting related to this in any www including srilanka official sites .. msg can be fake ...
Shyam,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saying here man?
I can infer from your post that LTTE will not intentionally withdraw from Madhu as if they did it, you would be the first here bragging about how wonderful LTTE is.
So, if the news turns out to be true then we can safely say that they left because they couldn’t hold on!
Also, we can safely assume that Madhu was quite important to LTTE. This is because, even after confirmations from DN & DW (who hasn’t got a previous track record of publishing false information) you still insist that LTTE is holding on at Madhu.
So, when we get the final confirmation, you will have to admit that LTTE has been defeated and they ran for their lives.
So, now lets wait for confirmation from other sources!
"4 tanks destroyed and another 2 damaged in the battle field y'day and the SLA lost 5 tanks in 2 days"
ReplyDelete70,000+ (including women and children) dead, Tamils in Vanni, living in fear and poverty, Porky hiding in a cave (and shitting in it as well I bet), and after 30+ years of fighting, the Tamil Eelam is rapidly shrinking.
"Madhu church captured"
ReplyDeleteLTTE ain't interested in real estate.... be it the East or the Madhu.
But this bunch of donkeys called Tamil Diaspora keep braying 'Elaam'...'Homeland'... etc... etc..
Can I add to that lot the BBC / AP / AFP experts and Sri Lanka 'analysts', who keep reminding me that there's a mini de facto state.... ?

Haha! Nice one DefenceNet.
ReplyDeleteMay be you should call up DefenceLK, MCNS and let the guys know that Madhu has been captured. Poor folks at army HQ appear to be clueless.
V-fm news (13:00 GMT) today announced that Army was in the vicinity and Madu would fall with hours.
ReplyDeleteI think govt is delaying this news purposely. Some thing is on the air.
Probably to full fill late Minister Jeyaraj's plan to bring a replica of Madu Matha blessed by Pope.
just viewing the pix of the SLA dead bodies on tamilnet makes me wanna cry..why oh why do we keep REPEATING mistakes???..capturing madhu church??ok,good job, but at great cost during the closing stages,rite?..looks to me like the SLA,atleast on the muhamalai front GROSSLY underestimated tiger defences..moreover,they were fuckinfoolish,to say the least-moving ahead on open ground,without any amphibious landing cover or naval support???
ReplyDeleteMADU CAPTURED !!!

Ouch!
"We should make that double ouch!

That's reserved... to be presented to Tamil Diaspora when elections in the East are completed... and your savior called IC is politely asked by the Sri Lankans to GET LOST... eating their words!
Admit it man... Diaspora's Elaam dream is going up in smoke... It must be really hurting to live in denial...
Never underestimate the power of Sri Lankan politics... because we play dirty... if you play dirty...
We will make sure your fake-cause indeed will remain a fake cause.
Hey... BTW... I would add a third 'ouch' to your basket...
That's when the land from the East and North is given FREE to the landless and the families of the troops from the South!
In the meantime...keep me entertained.
Nice going gringo!!
ReplyDeleteRenegade,
ReplyDeletei join you in your sadness after looking at these pics.The problem here is that Brigadier Bandara didn't get air support.However the worst problem is that he is trying to make a name for himself i think.wont musala buruwas like this ever learn that we should stop trying to make a name for ourselves at the expense of the lives of the less fortunate but much more brave specially in a poor country like ours.
Parakrama,
I would not attack from Muhamalai bro until such time that we can conduct a "controlled" carpet bombing..since this option is unavailable i would stick to these tactics of small teams penetrating the LTTE FDL's and killing as many cadres as possible..this activity really annoys the LTTE because they think that they are the only party that is allowed to do this.

ReplyDeleteDefnet mate ya doing a great job here ! Well done ! But, our SLA needs to stop getting beatup like this man ! I know we are fighting Terrorist here.... but, why let them sleep at all and wait for them to attack. As Noltepeace said a while ago... we have to harass ltte not in the front.... but, where it hurts...supply and arty !
ReplyDeleteBut, my condolences to our brave SLA soldiers and families.What we need now... a landing in Pooneryn and a big ass thrust from Mannar with all we got since we have Mahdu now ! But,CAS that's the key fellas !
As for you ltte, kiss my ass anytime yop faggorts !

ReplyDeleteIts just like what that dead coolie thaaamilselvan said..may he cut a lot of hair where he is..he thought this was a cricket match..a game..in this game the tigers behave like terrorists but we cant use their tactics against them

ReplyDeleteBe patient peter....just wait and see. you will get to taste it soon! I'd love to see your face when u really get to taste it.
Defencenet and other like minded bloggers, please…
ReplyDelete(Do bear with me, this post is going to looooong)
As I have been harping on for a while about this subject of unsavoury characters posting on this blog; allow me to put it to you another way.
Let’s ask ourselves a few questions. Do we gain anything positive by reading the comments from these people? Do we enjoy reading them? Do we believe their queries are genuine even if they disagree with the majority of bloggers here? Do we enjoy answering them (except Asithri :)? Do we gain anything positive by responding to them? The answer no doubt would be an emphatic No!
So why do we keep doing them?
When I read the responses you write I sense the anger and frustration in you. I see that you do not want to respond but somehow these ill minded bloggers’ comments drive you up the wall because they are illogical/stupid/sadistic/etc, and you must do something. So you get the firebrand stuck up your bottom and retaliate.
Well let me tell you something brothers, that is exactly how they want you to feel and react. They are winning the keyboard battle every time their posts are commented upon, not matter how negatively or how intensely. In fact the more vehement your reply the more sadistic pleasure they receive. That is why they keep coming back with the same stupid comments time and again. And time and time again we fall for the same trap.
You can stand on your heads and type your answers, trying to explain to them till kingdom come but these jokers are set in their ways. They don’t want to hear and understand. Can’t you just grasp this simple fact? What makes you think that your reasoning and logic are going to drum sense in to their skulls? By responding to them you stoop to the same level. Isn’t there a saying in our Pukka Land, “you can debate with a thousand sages but not with one fool?”
Forgive me for sounding like an old granddad (believe me I am not!), but the best way to punish these people and silence them is two fold.
1) Leave their dim-witted comments on the blog unless they are downright disgusting and/or unethical. Do not delete them (in that respect I agree with DN for leaving their comments on). It only exposes their warped mentality.
2) To maintain ZERO RESPONSE. Do not respond in any way. Totally ignore them. The worst disgrace/insult you can bestow on anyone is to deny their existence. Ignoring is the way we say they do not exist.
This is guaranteed to work. Imagine their frustration when a few days go by without anyone taking any notice of them? Wouldn’t that be just Fandabidozi? You will see they will try harder and harder to provoke some one. Their stories would get yet more incoherent. They will post more and more bizarre comments, link, etc, just to get someone break down and respond. But we shall remain silent. Remember the game we used to play as kids? The first one to make a sound loses?
Now you don’t have to agree with me. If you don’t, I implore you to give me one good reason why you think we should respond to the silly posts.

I am really surprised, again and again, to see the low quality, unprofessional, nitwit reportings at army.lk, defence.lk and other web sites which present the GOSL official positions and the image that it makes of itself.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the secret that these GOSL official organs are managed for so long by people who make a mockery of the GOSL at its own expense?.
Are we to consider whole GOSL, specially the Civil Administrative Services, as nitwits as these websites?
Aren’t there any sensible men in SL to point out the deficiencies in these extremely important image building organisations.
It seems that we are paying the price, now, for kicking Anagarika Dharmapala Thuma out of the country, who sacrificed himself whole heartedly to build a noble nation out of slaves licking happily the boots of slave masters.
If we are to stand up as a nation with dignity at least within the next generation, a complete overhauling of our mentality is necessary.
A job well done or death must be the motto of this awakening .

Guys,
ReplyDeleteThis guy, My Shadow casts an ugly shadow over commonsense.
If I brand him as a frog in a well, it is an insult to that humble amphibian.
So, I compare him with its miniature version - tadpole.
Tadpole wriggles out of its own world of immaturity through the process of metamorphosis, only to trap itself in another closed world - the well. And its field of vision is sealed.
My Shadow proves, with an alarming frequency, he is in the same situation. He has an insatiable appetite for truth regarding Madhu church.
For him, the independent news organizations are BBC, AP, AFP etc.
Can anyone be more naive than this?
These organizations, in their own countries of origin, attract the wrath of population for hyping up things, out of proportion, to increase their ratings.
Time and again, they have been doing exactly that, with much ease in the developing world, cashing in on gullibility of the majority.
The people who manned these organizations, whom, My shadow defines as great journalists, are none other than ambitious men and women who are out their for a 'kill' - some news to make headlines.
If they have no news, they make news. That is their trade.
They have been assigned the task of finding the news by their superiors - by hook or crook, to put it plainly. So, under pressure, to save their lucrative contracts, they engage in this mission.
Ranking these news organizations as neutral is like branding singer Madonna, the greatest virgin since Mother Theresa, exploiting the sentimental value of that great name.
Our mate, My Shadow, should not emulate a tadpole when visiting a great blog; the very manoeuver has the potential to imprison him in perpetual immaturity.
We want exactly the opposite for this man.
cool news!!!
ReplyDeleteGuys,
ReplyDeleteThe presence of vultures is a sure sign that death is around.
This ugly bird does not make a distinction when it spots a carcass - it it is one of its own or not.
We have a group of Homo Sapiens who rejoice in death and bloodshed, yet being proud of the species.
By doing so, they have demoted themselves from a rank of passive Tigers to that of a flight of vultures.
I want to put myself in the boots of Pete, Puli, Shayam and the likes to get the feeling of their lates ranking.
Anyway, their presence also implies the death of enemy too. That is a consolation during a disturbing time.
defencenet, im new to this site. and like any news that speaks of a SL victory as much as i would love to believe it, i always take it with a pinch of salt. i assume that you are not a reporter from the front lines so if you state your source of this information it will clear a lot of things up. thanks
ReplyDeletechatura,
ReplyDeleteis that your real name?

ReplyDeleteDefencenet!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading this blog for sometime now and one thing is very clear to me. The LTTE maggots are visiting this blog not to discuss useful issues, but to add to their despicable terrorist activities by snooping around for defense related information, disrupting useful discussions, trying to create fear and doubts in our minds, trying to disgrace our country, our defense forces, our nationality, our religion etc. Some of the genuine bloggers seem to consider an entertainment value in their idiotic comments. But I think allowing them to snoop around in this blog is dangerous and is creating us harm. They are visiting this blog with sinister plans for us and our country and there is no reason why we should allow them to do their dirty work in our blog knowing their vile intentions. These maggots, crawling in their own shit, are also trying to use this blog to extend their LTTE & TAMILNUT propaganda, seemingly innocently as if providing useful info. Their aim is to mislead the unknowing with their fabricated stories and prefabricated photos (the Tamil Elam Mig fighter and the Iraqi dead soldier were two good examples). You know from the comments you got from the last few days that their tactics are working on the participants of this blog. They are also trying to disrupt the genuine discussions to help mother Lanka by pasting useless comments to engage the genuine bloggers to respond by wasting everybody’s time reading LTTE maggot propaganda. You are doing a dis-service to all of us visitors to this great blog site by allowing these maggots to roam freely on this site. I think you cannot prevent them from entering the site but I think you can delete their comments. These maggots are easily identifiable and their comments should be deleted without exceptions as soon as they attempt to publish them. They can try to login with another login name but we know that these hyenas can try to hide but their dirty 'GOO' spots and their foul smelling mouths will give them away.
im new to this forum and i obviously dont believe every word on this site like its gospel truth. even lord buddha has preached not to believe everything he says but to study and understand the dhamma before accepting it as a philosophy for life.. thats what seperates us buddhists from other religions where they worship a god with blind faith..
ReplyDeleteso i think doubting something is not me being a traitor or a terrorist trying to disrupt anything here.. i just want to find out the truth..
you obviously have anger issues machan.. i think its good there are patriots like you but attacking those on your own team isnt the way to do it.. think about it.. have a clear mind.. these days with so much news going around about prabs being killed and him turning up in excellent health i dont want to get the rathinya out just yet.. its very irresponsible of youll if you spread news without knowing for sure its true.. and until i know for sure im not gonna send mass SMSs etc.. so chill out machan.. get me a source i would love it.. trust me i want to believe this news.. "an anonymous source, a very reliable source" etc is BS.. if theres someone you know in the army, someone who has seen madhu church and seen it free of the LTTE tell me.. or till defencelk puts it up and keheliya rambukwella or udaya nanayakkara says it in a press conference.. take care machan .. btw my real name is infact chatura.. just said that to riducule srilankan cos of his outrageous and hillarious allegation.. gave me a good laugh..
The maggots are are crawling in at suupersonic speed.. Sensing a desperate bid?
ReplyDeleteChatura,
ReplyDeletestating peoples sources isnt a great idea when maintaining a blog i think.
so I think the best thing we can do is appreciate what news we can get ...but in the end its just up to the readers to believe it or not no matter what sort of stuff is out there.
better yet if you can be a part of some effort that ends up making the news...but since most of us are ofcourse checking up on defence situation of our country while being on track for other goals/paths etc....why spoil a good party by asking people to name their sources... takes the whole spiciness of good reporting away.
aqua,
ReplyDeletetheres spiciness and theres responsibility.. i got a google news alert saying madhu was captured naturally i was excited and had to check it out immidiately.. thats why i even visited this site.. anyhoo i wont be doing that again.. if like you say its just a blog and they are not bounded by responsible journalism practices.. my mistake.. this will become like a rumour site.. if i feel like some gossip i might visit.. btw for some good humour visit www.tamilnet.tv notice the TV at the end not .com have fun..
Military Spokesman says capture of Madhu is just a rumor, so I assume that SLFP is waiting to announce the capture in their May Day Rally.

I don't see why you have to reply to retards like My_Shadow, Shyam etc...
We all know these are brainless dumb idiots with their warp sense of logic and sheer ignorance
Yesterday, when we reported the news, many of you were worried that no mainstream media reported the event. We report what we know and we know for a fact that we have taken Madhu.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the papers today, most will confirm our story. Govt are just waiting for the right time to announce the capture because this will be big news for the people.
And Chatura, we will never reveal our sources to prove ourselves.
You guys are day dreaming.

Dear All LTTE Fans,
ReplyDeletePoor leadership and tactics of operation on 23rd confrontation made LTTE to do the same thing again and kill a heavier no of soldiers in one day. Why and how it happened will be taken seriously by SLA and as a result the people who're responsible for the incident will be accountable and pay the price for what happened.
What LTTE fans cannot understand is that, this incident happened NOT because of LTTE's Superiority, but because of SLA commander’s POOR operation planning on 23rd. This does not mean that all SLA operations are alike. It's been proven on other fronts like Mannar. Ex: Madu Church.
Generally, when one party continuously beaten by an opposition, even one bad incident is enough for them to hail and shout! This is what LTTE is doing now and this is so much similar to what Hillary Clinton suggested to do after Pennsylvania win. She said "It's the Time to Turn the Tide!"!
So there's a Tide, which is going the wrong way fans. Just like Clinton, LTTE thinks to turn the SLA advances back by taking one incident for their support with their foolish media propaganda. Very sorry my friends! There's no turning back!
The only way to stop the tide is to Wave the White Flag and let SLA to liberate Vanni. So Easy! No casualties! No worries!
Just keep your fingers crossed! SLA's next stop is not so far from Vanni heartland!
Guys,
ReplyDeleteI see the set-back at Muhamalai in the following way;
The Tigers decided to vacate the Madhu area last week, as they realized the prolonged occupation was a shortcut to death.
The top Tigers may have tried to come up with something to impress the diaspora and maintain what is left of the morale of lower-level cadres.
So, they decided to launch their infamous Mullathive Style attack: use of maximum strength against an isolated target - nearly, 75% of manpower, on that occassion, which meant thousands and the camp fell.
However, on this occassion, that figure have fallen below 1000, according to military monitoring. It shows two things: they are short of cadres and full of desperation. Furthermore, VP has run out of ideas, too.
Sending subordinates on a suicide mission of this kind is not an admirable charater of a great commander. On the contrary, it is a symptom of a psychopath.
The army says they knew about this build-up of cadres near the first FDL, recently. It is good intelligent gathering.
However, the counter-attack did not go well as they planned.
My impression is they underestimated the presence of big guns, in the vicinity. The airforce recently tried to silence these guns; it may have been far from perfect.
The lesson we can learn from this is, that the evidence that comes from electronic sources must be put into perspective, before relying heavily on them.
It further proves that their is no match for what comes from ground-based human intelligence.
It is wrong to rank the setback as a debacle; all indications are that this was a defensive operation.
As far as those who initiated it are concerened, it is certainly a debacle; one more to their long list of disasters.

Guys,
ReplyDelete"Not worth of Church without the Statue of Madhu Matha.."
Not worth of a statue without its niche too, I must say.
The above observation is made by none other than our popular Shyam -a member of what I call the flight of vultures.
Peter, Shyam, Puli have chosen to be in that species, because their presence is heavily felt here when there is so much bloodshed and killings.
On a different note, now that we are in Madhu church, it is high time we exposed the Sinner-in-Robe, Mr Rayappu, and his own brand of Catholism.
His form of worship includes the wanton destruction of Teak trees that were around the church - giving it shade and tranquility - for the construction of bunkers.
This man has never been short of explanations. He may defend this development too, by putting the blame on squarely Satan.
He can get into the Guinness book of records too; first one to keep the Satan at bay by erecting wooden bunkers.
I heard from my grandma that the Hell has compartments; some are really hot and some are very cold.
No wonder, the Almighty knew in advance the arrival of creatures like Rayappu in droves.
If I put myself in his shoes, I will be petriefied to the core!
Dulith,
ReplyDeleteNow the ppl like My shadows do not even have a shadow to support themselves. They r only physical objects, who can type on a keyboard, without a soul.
I have only one request from all patriots. Please use your connections, good office to turn the top military mind set for better coordinated attack. May be because of internal politics, there is no visible joint operations to satisfactory level.
ReplyDeleteSLDF could have decimated LTTE on northern front, if SLAF was there to attack LTTE. During whole saga SLAF was sleeping, then they woke up for 6AM for regular morning raid to waste some bombs.
I am really suspecting the behavior of SLAF and even SLN for past several months. Some thing has happen to the spirit of joint operation.
May be top guys has fallen in traps, that are funded by LTTE using UNP supporters, NGOS etc., thus collective goal is forgotten.
It is understandable, that one time good general (J Perera) has suddenly become a traitor to the nation and There can be lots of high rankers, who are having good connection to those guys, stealthily acting differently.
T seems LTTE has managed to create a inner force in south to just give in or messed up operations.
President as a commander of all forces should look in to the even minute detail very carefully.
If there are differences among TOP guys, thus hamper the WAR against LTTE, Serious Warnings should be issued and secret service should be guided to arrange relationship building activities.
If nothing going to work, graceful retirement should be forced on to the individuals.
If the guys going t o defy the decisions, case should be handed over to jackals.
No one should play with the Nation and the mother land.

ReplyDeletevery true... but i wonder if SLA kept SLAF in the loop as far is these battles are concerned...
SLAF folks also have delivered the goods even during trying times and even with very little resources...
I don't know exactly what happened but it's unfair to pin this on SLAF. What is happening to Joint Operations Commander whose supposed to be combining all forces to achieve set objectives...
"Slpower,

Slpower,
Watchout mate. Sounds like that Puli character is not only a sakkiliya but a filthy homosexual as well.
"However, there are ample evidence that the terrorists had been using the church as a terrorist base, as large number of bunkers, trenchers, mortar pits, and artillery positions found in side the church complex, the reports added."
ReplyDeletedefence.lk reports... they should give good publicity to these things so that the dear bishop rayappu will lose whatever little credibility he has. All these times i gave the guy the benefit of the doubt :(
ranil,
ReplyDeleteThe armed forces are one team not 3 individual teams.In this type of offensive operation it was the lack of air support that caused so many casualties.This was an LTTE operation where they stormed army FDL in order to entice the army to advance into their artillery range in order to kill as many brave soldiers as possible.So it was like an unceasing wave (infinity+1).so the airforce should have been ready for following reasons even if the LTTE offensive started at 0200 hrs.The planes should have been airbourne and in theatre of battle at the crack of dawn..
1)to support infantry advance
2)kill as many LTTE cadres as possible(we missed a goldern opportunity)
The airforce was not there.Exactly who is to blame for the lack of air support is another matter.At this rate lets forget this war and create 5 countries.
1)EELAM
2)Eastern country-because if we cant handle our own affairs then we cannot justly govern eastern province
3)Army country,Navy country and airforce country.
Ranil,
ReplyDeleteIn war i am sure you have heard of the concept of overwhelming force..This should have been provided by the airforce..thats what they are there for..not to wax planes..i would have been happy if we had achieved a kill ration 2:1 in our favour..with so many casualties
this LTTE withdrawal from madu has nothing to do with GOD IC/catholic church..they are short of cadres..nothing has changed..the only pointis that the artillary was used.We never ever give these shi*s this EELAM ever..they should try kent and toronto instead..like some idiot said some time ago..wherever their is a tamil their is thaamil EELAM.No offence to the good peace loving tamils in Slanka

However our people seem to have advanced pretty fast since yesterday it seems.
Looks like LTTE managed to withdraw with their artillery and mortars that were placed in the shrine area. Our commandos constantly ambushed retreating LTTE cadres in the Thoppigala battle.... nothing like that has happened here. Maybe it wasn't possible?

No I don't mean attacking them there itself, but when they are retreating (or running away, more like). They blew up whole truck loads of LTTE cadres (and some leaders as well) in ambushes during the Thoppigala operation, in the roads that they were using to go to Wanni.
