The SAAR class boats are fitted with Gabriels ASM right ? not Barak's DB ? So what happened to SLN Suranimala the 2nd of the Missile boats ?

But something like the SPIKE LR missile which is said to compatible with the Typhoon systems we have would be ideal to hit tiger fast attack/suicide boats and costal positions. These can be carried by our MI-24V/MI-35 gunships as well. Any thoughts?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777902112139093143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-85860317204826440802007-03-25T17:37:00.000+05:302007-03-25T17:37:00.000+05:30Well done to our boys in the Navy.

There was a time when only one was operational due to the lack of parts. We can't afford to have our best and largest warships laid up at port.<BR/><BR/>The LTTE could launch an attack on these ships while they are in port using frogmen and limpet mines. The Navy must get hold of some Barak missiles and also upgrade our FACs with more powerful gun. It in only a matter of time when the LTTE will try to engage the navy again in a large scale sea battle. <BR/><BR/>The excellent our Navy boys are doing preventing the LTTEs Arms ships from resupplying them, must have the LTTE leadership worried. And their only recourse would be to engage and sink or damage our naval ships, in order to make the sea lanes safe again for LTTE Arms ships.<BR/><BR/>The Navy can Ill afford to rest on their laurels. Because a wounded Tiger is much more dangerous and can attack aggressively without warning.Sammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01627568437397536737noreply@blogger.com
