What the fuck is this? Stop talking about shit you don't know otherwise you'll look like an idiot.
This is nothing like what Pakistan provided us.
They gave SL RM-70 MRLS. Before the Czech armaments arrived, the Pakistani launchers were largely responsible for halting LTTES unceasing waves -3 operation from breaking the Muhamalei/Nagarkovil defence line.
If they were not there, the lives of 30000 SLA personnel would have been at the mercy of Prabhakaran.
Don't believe what I say? Read the Sunday Times situation report on 4th June 2000:

"Rockets from the MBRLs were spewing out fire, one after another, within seconds. The first few pieces of MBRLs that arrived from Pakistan was the subject of battlefield gossip. (See box story for new acquisitions by the Army) The vehicle mounted rocket launchers had the capacity to fire one rocket after another until its thirty barrels were emptied. In the alternative, it could empty all its thirty barrels at once. More lethal versions of the MBRLs were due to arrive in the battlefield soon."
How old was the person who started this thread when the war was going on?
Don't be ungrateful fuckwits and make claims like "Pakistani launchers were shit" without knowing any facts.
Give credit where its due. I'm guessing the reluctance here is because Pakistan is a Muslim country? If that's the case you deserve to be bombed by LTTE.
And I saw one guy had said rockets were loaded into the launcher in reverse?
Anyone who would have at least stood near one of these platforms would know this is not possible.
And the first few uses of these MRLS were demonstrated by Pakistani soldiers who were on site, not by SLA.
And Pakistan didn't just provide rockets.
They were one of the very few countries who provided us with offensive weaponry along with Chine and Russia.
Pakistan even repaired our mi-24 gunships and C130 Hercules transports when other countries refused spare parts.
