Half of SLAF destroyed - Ex-RAW Director
Although the Sri Lankan government quickly played down the effects of the first Tiger air attack on the Katunayake Air Force base last month, a paper published by B. Raman - a former director at Indian intelligence agency RAW - claims half of the SLAF assets were destroyed in the attack.
Mr Raman stated that the air capabilities posed a short, medium and long term threats to Sri Lanka as well as medium and long term threats to India. The air capabilities posed risks especially to VIPs who's security will now be compromised and in addition he stated that the biggest factor is that the spectacular attacks could boost the recruitment drive and funding of the LTTE.
He also stated that the air capabilities of the LTTE is a threat to regional security and that India should intervene to neutralize the threat.
The good news for the Sri Lankan government he said was that the attack - a high risk operation with very high odds of failure - was carried out in desperation as the Sri Lankan government ground forces have been successful in capturing vast amount of land that was under the control of the Tamil Tigers.

Bullshit. Only a couple of helicopters received minor damage. The MIGs and Kfirs have been operational and bombing the hell out of the the LTTE as we speak.
In a way he is correct. The biggest assets – the reputation – distorted quite badly. It is up to SLAF to decide how they going to gain it back.
Lets beleive what we have to believe to be Happy. Lets keep calling the tiger air wing all the names we can.
The SLAF is strong and mighty. Hence airlines should not cancel and rearrange their schedules right?
B Raman is a well known Tamil racist in India. He usually gets gets a bit wet inside his panties after LTTE attacks.
Anonymous 2. Let's just keeping on carpet bombing these terror Tamil bastards in the North until they are all gone.
""Half of SLAF destroyed"" - B.Raman
""The SLAF is known to own 12 Kfir bombers (two TC.2s, two C.7s and eight C.2s).""

One heli was badly damaged 5 others received minor damages other than that no bomber was hit. B.Raman is spreading bullshit.
No one tells the truth anymore. Did a Mig27 crash or not?
It is true Sri Lanka has lost many many air crafts in the TAF bombing. There will be many more mission by LTTE brave pilots. And unlike SLAF the TAF only destroys genuine military targets. LTTE will soon have helicopters and other attack aircracts. With this and the ground forces, LTTE will soon take over the isalnd.
Raman's 'analysis' came out a couple of days after the Katu attack, and was almost immediately discredited, mostly because he hadn't waited for any damage assessment before he published. Hi writing often reveals his attempt to walk the line between hating the Tigers and crying wolf about its threat to India.
His piece contained lines such as "effective and accurate bombing", "TAF ability to counter the SLAF" and other rubbish.
Many former heads of security and intelligence services attempt to make a living through analysis. To further that career they need to convince they still have the resources they once had in their daay job. Usually they don't.
LTTE getting helicopters? ha ha ha... LTTE having Kifers ha ha ha
LTTE getting proper aircraft to attack ha ha ah
LTTE is loosing everything they got. Now desparate meassures got them using old air craft.
No funding, Satellite stopped, loosing groud. ha ha ha
Wouldn't you have also laughed if you were told LTTE will use air crafts to bomb Colombo 5 years ago. hahah so keep laughing until one falls on your head.
One of my Tamil neighbours just got arrested in South Eastern Melbourne for funding LTTE. The guy actually had Eelam flags up for the Maaveerar day or whatever.
Yes, Anonymous. You could go on believing what you have to in order to be happy. Let's believe that LTTE didn't lose Sampur and all that. Perhaps even that the target of their bomb attack in Colombo was not Gotabhaya Rajapakse. Also that the magical undetectable planes of TAF bombed out half the SLAF fleet and flattened the Colombo Airport. Why even worry about EU shutting down LTTE satellites. Hon VP is sending his son up to space in a TASA satellite next month. TRO didn't get banned anywhere in the world and no LTTE members got arrested in Paris and London. The Tamils responsible for credit card fraud in service stations in UK are actually Sinhalese students pretending to be Tamil. IMF/World Bank and USAID have suspended aid to Sri Lanka and Sinhala chauvinists are starving without food. Colombo stock market is not the 5th best performing one in the World and has lost 2/3rd of its market capitalisation. Eelam would be a reality in a matter of months. Yes...
JM - thank you for agreeing that the LTTE will have eelam!
There will be eelam. a county totally under the democratic systems of Sri Lanka. And prabha will be hung.
Praba will never be hung. He is the leader of leaders. He is a icon, he is a true sri lankan.
Sinhelese should not be given rights in Sri Lanka, as they have caused suffering to all people.
dream on buddy. he is going down. hung by the neck till he struggle and die for ruining the life of thousands of people and raping tamils women and kids. His days are numbered.
Idiot sinhela person, look at whats happening today. your government is loosing all credibility, internatioanl community is going against you for human rights, your own people (moda sinhela people) going elsewhere and saying that the government is loosing it and you think you won?
ha ha ha we are winning, we are getting the british with us, australians and norway etc so we will win.
praba will never be caught. your economy is going down, no tourist, nothing is happning and you still think you won? won what? your ass? Once we are done, all your asses will be ours!
Looks like the sinhalese people are worried and have no answers. ha ha ha scared as always!
The only real facts of this sordid war is that the tamil racists can never own anything that the sinhala racists are not willing to give up. And the LTTE has never been or will never be good at anything other than violence and blowing things up.
That's why the so called 'eelam' which encompassed all of the north and the east courtesy of the generous Ranil Wicks government is now shrinking just like velu's diabetic dick.
Briliantly said!! :)
jm:
For some of you guys eelam has been an imminent thing for a loooooong time.
Hang in there bud. There's nothing wrong with an over-ripe imagination..
But you tamil racists are such losers.. As a result of this sordid war, today the tamils are the 4th minority and fast disappearing into the chasm of illiteracy and violent debauchary. In the long term game, this is the final sinhala-tamil war and will be the conclusive one as well.
End of Sinhalese Nationlism or the Sinhalese Race?
The book of Mahavamsa is a work of an idiot. The Sinhalese failure to look beyond that book will bring the total destruction of the whole race. Even the book says that the so called Sinhalese Kings continuously married bride from the Pandiyan Empire in order keep alliance. This makes the so called Sinhalese King more part of the Dravidian blood line. Tamils had the first naval empire of the Indian subcontinent and its laughable that the Sinhalese claim to be on the island before the Tamils. LTTE is just asking for the rights of the Tamil and if they wanted to just to be a terrorist group they would have killed the Sinhalese in Millions by now. LTTE would have never existed if they did not have a reason and would have never been able to fight an outnumbered Army that is well financed for almost 3 decades (also taking on the Indian Army in the middle). When Indians took up arms against the British they were called trouble makers (now it is defined as terrorists). When Blacks demanded their rights from the White South African Government they were also called terrorists. Tamil Nationalism is a very minimum goal of LTTE and the rights of the Tamils of Elam is their main goal. If LTTE fails, the Sinhalese Government will definitely wipe out the Tamils of Elam and that would make Tamil Nationalism to reemerge. Tamil Nadu will for sure wipe the Island of Lanka clean of the Sinhalese if that ever happens. Tamil Nadu buried the Tamil Nationalism for the union of India, if the Central Government of India fails to bring a solution that would be acceptable by Elam Tamils then for sure the break up of Tamil Nadu from the Indian Union is a fact (by force or by referendum). LTTE made a huge mistake by not claiming the whole Island and not labeling Sinhalese as foreigners. The Tamils existence is so rooted into the Island that it cannot be even traced back, while the Sinhalese existence beings with an idiot and his followers being banished from the Bengal. The burning of the Jaffna library which housed scripts and 10,000 years of Tamil history is for sure one of the greatest lost to the Tamils. For sure the two light Air Planes are nothing compared to the Sri Lankan Air Force, but for sure it was enough to make the Sri Lankan Government tremble. The same was said when the Tigers Naval unit emerged and now they proved to be a successful fighting force. If the LTTE gains their goal it is win, win and win situation (for the Tamils, Sinhalese and Indians). If LTTE fails it will be a disaster for the Indian Union and the entire Sinhalese race. Two and a half million Tamils against the sixteen million Sinhalese has only caused the total destruction of the Sinhalese State (bad image on the world stage, ruined economy that is running on donations from the western powers). Seventy million Tamils against the sixteen million Sinhalese will only lead to the extinction of the Sinhalese Race. Tamil Nationalism is far more extreme then the Sinhalese Nationalism.

Hey doomsday prophet;
You need to join the rest of the redundant panick mongers who've predicted the downfall of the Sinhala race over the past 2500 years.
Guess what?
We still rule.
You don’t rule asshole, you are just lingering. All the time you were in control of the Island is when the Tamils ruled under Sinhalese name and when you add backup from the Tamil Kingdoms from the mainland.
We have 'lingered' for so long, there's really nothing left to argue about permanency of ownership.
Occupation is 90% of ownership, or haven't you heard?
Well in that case, If Tamil Nadu occupied the Sinhalese side of Sri Lankan then the ownership goes to the Tamils. We in Tamil Nadu will keep this in mind.
Sure. Tamilnadu has been coming for so long. It takes a true tamil 'intellectual' to believe in the fairy tales some of you guys take seriously.
Tamilnad doesn't give a fck for the vanni monkeys..
Ha Ha Ha.. First it was MGR, next Karunanidhi, and now even Vaiko's let 'em down. But the stupid monkeys live in blind hope.
Whats stopping Tamil Nadu from helping Eelam Tamils is the Central Indian government and thier Foreign Policy. If not Sri Lanka wouldn't last this long.
I have often visited various parts of T'nadu since early 1980's and have seen first hand what's happened there viz-a-viz the Sri Lankan issue.
They truly don't care a damn for Sri lankan tamils whom the Indian tamils consider to be self-obsessed.
History proves them right.
Tamil nadu is going to invade Sri Lanka.
Tomorrow.
Since you visted them so much, do they care about Dravida Nationalism?
