AS the SL Defence Forces closed in on Killinochchi, the SBS [Special Boat Squadron] and RABS [Rapid Action Boat Squadron] commandos intercepted a fleet of sea-tiger boats off the coast of Nachchikudah.
In the ensuing fight, at least 10 LTTE boats were reported to have been sunk, with 25-30 Tamil Tiger terrorists killed.
The SLNs attacks have led to a decimation of sea-tiger capacity, leading to serious logistics problems to the terror outfit. Interestingly, increasing numbers of combat craft used by the SLN are now domestically produced and match or surpass performace standards of equipment imported earlier.
