ANYONE CAN TAKE A BULLET WHEN IT IS WAR

AN SLAF helicopter took ground fire which forced it to make an emergency landing due to fuel loss in Ampara today. This goes on to prove that having high-end electronic counter measures do not compensaste for operator negligence in any situation, and particularly when in a war. A few well placed shots from an old G3 rifle can easily bring down a helicopter, and the LTTE units often carry plenty of similar or even greater fire power.

The SLAF also carried out a heavy raid against a gathering of the Tamil Tiger air assets today. The extent of the damages caused to the Tigers in this attack and a number of other similar well targetted attacks over the past few days remain unknown while there is much guessing about a high ranking terrorist being either killed or disabled.
