Last minute shopping for needles

What I want to know is why the Tigers doesn't already have anti-aircraft missiles? Sri Lankan air force has flown Kfirs for years and air is effectively the edge Sri Lankan government has against the Tigers. So then why did the Tigers not cache some needles for a rainy day? I have a few theories: one they did and the missiles all got washed into the sea during the tsunami. Two, the money that was supposed to have been allocated to purchase missiles were used to celebrate Prabhakaran’s daughter’s birthday. Three, Tigers are really a gang of emotionally unstable adults who like to believe they are an army but in fact only have pistols. But with the help of TamilNet were able to portray and convince others what they believed to be true. And lastly, Karuna got the missiles in the divorce settlement. This is kind of scary. If this is true, the war will go on long after the LTTE is gone.
