SLA finds abandoned LTTE airstrip in Ira'naimadu

The SLA who had been scouring the jungles of Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu has claimed occupation of the Ira’naimadu air strip. The air strip formerly designated as the future international Tamil Eelam Airport (TEA) was abandoned by the LTTE several months ago. The entire infrastructure was dismantled by the LTTE before tactically withdrawing from TEA. TAF had ceased operating from this airstrip in the middle of last year. TEA and TAF assets are in tact and are safely hidden away in secret jungle bases. Wanni sources indicate that the SLA had deployed close to 100,000 troops specifically commissioned to capture LTTE airstrips. So far the SLA has claimed occupation of 5 abandoned air strips. The SLAF too had tried to destroy these air strips and dropped several tonnes of expensive ordnance in an attempt to discourage the LTTE in using these airstrips for TAF operations. GoSL’s own sources indicate that the damage done by the SLAF was quickly repaired by Tamil Eelam Aviation Services (TEAS).
A detailed account of ongoing operations will follow shortly, stay tuned folks.
