Even when taking the east, the LTTE practically lost nothing other than the ability to boast. They are a guerilla organization and losing territory today means nothing in the long term. The military needs to make a greater effort to increase the LTTE body count so that we eliminate their chances of being a vastly mobile and nimble outfit that survived the day to hit back when the army rests. If not, this euphoria over so called military gains will prove to be a fatal short term illness.TropicalStormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110816350260622487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-74986001955559831172007-03-31T10:43:00.000+05:302007-03-31T10:43:00.000+05:30What Sri Lanka needs to invest in is not more expe...What Sri Lanka needs to invest in is not more expensive weapons, but in more committed troops. That will come only from providing better facilities and support services for the men and women willing to risk their lives. <BR/><BR/>It is commitment that wins anything, including wars. If weapons could do the job, world history would be quite different. Remember Vietnam, Afganistan (Ruskies' debacle) and now Iraq ?TropicalStormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110816350260622487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-72132929807213663932007-03-29T06:28:00.000+05:302007-03-29T06:28:00.000+05:30if above 2 comments are any indication, some ppl l...if above 2 comments are any indication, some ppl lose their minds when tigers lose it seems. good riddance :-)sittingnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08409176960405641998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-45997732831377499922007-03-28T15:44:00.000+05:302007-03-28T15:44:00.000+05:30copy that YZ, I think our boys use the RPO-A and a...copy that YZ, <BR/>I think our boys use the RPO-A and a new RPG Thermobaric rocket. <BR/>But the Russians have Thermobaric MBRLs, US & China are making Thermobaric bombs (250lb~500lb), If we can get our hands on these..man the tigers will pay dearly ;-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777902112139093143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-14758142157150518632007-03-28T15:37:00.000+05:302007-03-28T15:37:00.000+05:30Nemesis… I do believe the thermobaric weapons are ...Nemesis… I do believe the thermobaric weapons are more effective on an enemy who is dug in and in an enclosed area that an enemy in the open… check this link out for the destructive power of a thermobaric rocket shot from a RPG.<BR/>http://warfare.ru/?catid=278&linkid=1847&video=true&id=109Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
