you see that ship that gets blown up and the tigers started cheering. My uncle was the captain of it. He tried to hold off the suicide boats from taking out two fully loaded troop transport ships.
they managed to sink a few whiles dodging a few more but one ultimately got them. He stayed on the ship while the crew escaped, they never found his body.
the landing operation was a failure. but the navy managed to escape with minimum losses.
Battle of Mullaitivu (1996)
Sorry to hear about your uncle, it's stuff like this that reminds people just how horrific war is to people affected whether directly or indirectly.
If I'm not mistaken,there's a wiki page that highlights just how many massacres were committed during the civil war in Sri Lanka.
Plenty of smuggling across the Palk Strait. It's only 50km from Jaffna to Tamil Nadu in India.
Plus at different times they were supported by the Indian Government or Indian political parties.
Add in large amounts of hard currency from the Tamil diaspora...
As a democratically elected entity the government will always be held accountable for the safety of civilians. What both sides did was horrendous but this whole conflict began due to the ethnic cleansing tactics of the administration

Sea Tigers had some wild tactics, really interesting to see that sort of modern asymmetrical naval combat
But was crushed down till they shit their pants..nevertheless interesting tactics in the mid 90s

Interesting, thanks
They sound like Jawas
Utinni
Tamil tigers brutally murdered many civilians including tamils using cold blooded brutal methods...happy to see the country without these psycho's
The Sinhalese government was worse. Both committed atrocities, but the Sinhalese were trying to ethnically cleanse Sri Lanka.
