Asymmetry delivers Victory

naxal | 29.04.2007 08:46 | Analysis | Other Press | Social Struggles | World

From Sun tzu to today’s flying LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) the fundamental decisive factors determining the outcome of war have never changed – though some ‘superpowers’ would have us all believe otherwise. The determining factors are and have always been, intelligence, skill, ingenuity and tactics – all other factors, including high technology, are secondary. The outcome of War is determined by and anchored in the warrior.

The ‘Flying Tigers’ launched one of their ‘squadrons’ against the capital Colombo today in retaliation for air raids against their strongholds by the Sri Lankan Air Force. The Lankan Air Force is a relatively modern force with MIG jet fighters while the rebel forces are said to have 2 to 5 hand-built kit aircraft smuggled in, assembled in the jungle and launched from makeshift runways! The latest attack from the Flying Tigers warranted the use of anti-aircraft fire from the Sri Lankan military; however, the rebel HAND ASSEMBLED KIT AIRCRAFT returned to base unharmed after a supremely successful mission – classic ASYMMETRIC warfare.

Nine security personnel were killed and two dozen have been wounded in air attacks by the Flying Tigers to date. It is believed the kit aircraft utilised by the Tiger ‘Air Force’ is the single-engine Czech-made Zlin Z-142 (pictured). Logic dictates that this trainer aircraft is no match for the MIGs of the Sri Lankan Air Force but the success of the attacks proves otherwise.

From the strategies of Sun tzu to David’s sling against the weaponry of the ‘giant’ Goliath, the supremacy of asymmetry has been demonstrated yet again by the resourcefulness and ingenuity of a highly motivated and disciplined small fighting force, the Tamil Tigers of Northern Sri Lanka.

No superpower is able to successfully contend with the Maoists, Naxalites and Tigers of South Asia, nor are governments able to suppress the numerous rebel groups on the Indo-Chinese peninsula. From the Middle East to the South Pacific, neo-colonial forces are haemorrhaging from attacks and rebuttals of smaller superior and committed forces. Neo-colonial military expansionism is destined to fail wherever it encroaches – all local populations today clearly reject colonial exploitation and slavery. The days of subservience have been relegated to history; no one today is willing to accept military or economic slavery from ANY nation or economic interest.

To the rogue, criminal, murdering USA and its allies; the prerogative lies with the occupied, the advantage is ours [you will never succeed]. Be advised, we are skilled, decentralised, invisible, unconquerable, relentless and

We are One.
