    fast is not the issue i think... because we have super sonics such as kaffir and soo on...
    those ltte planes are really slow accordnig to a military person's statmenet as i can remenber...
    airforce should have used armoured helicopters like bell series and soo on ne.... soo that plenes will be easy target....

    nope machanzz..datzz not d case... they are just simple machines with piston engines..
    the major difficulty is that the Kfir jets cannot targett those planes cozz our jets are hi-speed and fly very high..

    They do not have air-to-air fire capability too..
    But they could use MI-24 if they want...
    Dunno wtzzz going on..

    the government should consider bout buying air-to air jets n all ne?:rolleyes::rolleyes::angry::angry:

    "2 light aircraft belonging to the LTTE Air Wing dropped more than 3 bombs on Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) base in Trincomalee at 9PM. The area residents reporting there are gun fire from ground to air. LTTE aircraft had flown back towards vanni and landed with out any incidents. Neither MOD/Nor LTTE has released any info on it yet. According to security sources a while ago. Reports indicated that the ‘Jetliner’ transport vessel appeared to be the target, but the target had not been hit. Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said forces had fired at the aircraft, but it had eluded them"

    we cant destroy those planes easily

    bcaz our planes like Kffir,Mig get more time to prepare.

    LTTE planes just came and dropped one or two bombs and dissapeared

    So we hav 2 buy a new kinda of planes or start a Air Patrol(every tim one plane protecting da sky).

    LTTE air strike on Trincomalee harbour - SLN
    [TamilNet, Tuesday, 26 August 2008, 16:26 GMT]

    Heavy explosions rocked the Trincomalee Harbour around 9:00 p.m. Tuesday and the Sri Lanka Navy sources confirmed that at least one LTTE aircraft had dropped bombs, but refused to comment on the casualty details. Tension prevailed in Trincomalee town Tuesday night from about 9.05 onwards as Sri Lankan forces surrounding the Sri Lanka Navy headquarters located along the Trincomalee harbor continuously fired towards sky for about half an hour following the alleged attack. The city was deserted. In the meantime, Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Kfir bombers were seen over Ki'linochchi during the reported attack in Trincomalee.

    Residents in the east port city panicked following the outburst of firing rockets targeting the sky from SLN headquarters side in Trincomalee.

    Latest reports before the communication was cut off with the East port city indicated heavy explosions inside the harbour and the naval base. Vehicles were also seen rushing to hospital, according to civilian sources.

    Some residents said they heard an explosion from the Trincomalee harbor side after an object moved over the harbor by air. Thereafter Sri Lankan forces had started firing towards the sky targeting the object.

    The LTTE is yet to confirm the said air attack.

    Four months ago, in May 2008, a troop carrier cum supply ship of the Sri Lanka Navy, A-520, named 'MV Invincible', was sunk by Sea Tiger naval commandos in the Trincomalee Harbour.
