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.
