WANNI BATTLEFRONT IS INTO THE NEXT GEAR


The tempo of the wanni battlefront has been increased significantly during the last couple of weeks resulting heavy damages to both sides. The battleground is warming up since the SLA is now closing on the main LTTE fortresses Kili and Mulattiv.

SLA could have easily played waiting game(Cut supplies down and slowly taking over)like they did on Nachchikuda,Madu etc. But now decided to go for an all out offensive to capture kili and Mulattive. This approach is easily visible from the increasing number of air raids per a day.

This all out offensive method reveals several important intentions of SLA.

1 – To discourage tamil Diaspora who donate for LTTE all over the world.(Prabakaran said it will be a day dream of Mahinda Rajapaksha to capture kili. If SLA manages to capture kili, then Diaspora will lose faith on LTTE)

2 – As a diversionary attack (To pin down tiger defensive formations only to two places. When LTTE is doing an all out effort to defend these towns and concentrating more here, SLA could go ahead from else ware.)

3 – Destroying the elite tiger units like Charles Anthoney, Imran pandyan etc by forcing them to do a set piece battle with SLA where the superior firepower of the SLA can take the upper hand. And by doing that prompting the other carders of LTTE to give up on there mission.

This all out offensive method can e an expensive exercise, But it may produce results faster than anyone would imagine.
