Huge 10 ft tall experimental bombs found
Startling discoveries that are being made from Tiger strongholds
amply prove that terrorists, thanks to technology that has been smuggled
into the country during their heyday, have been experimenting on their
own at will with money sent from the Diaspora. Those recoveries had been
made from Udayarkattu, Sundarapuram and Visuamadu areas by the troops.
As the photos depict, those two pointed rocket-type experimental
bombs of 10 ft in height with a separate launcher, according to experts,
could go up as high as some 300 metres when ignited.
Each bomb could accommodate 200 kg of C-4 explosives inside when in
use, with the support of the separate barrel launcher that was also
discovered. This man-made bomb, had it turned successful, would have
brought a burning impact on an area, equivalent to some 1 x 1 sq km
according to military hardware experts.
Similarly, terrorists appeared to have experimented with the models
of a 122 mm artillery gun plus a mini aircraft.
The artillery gun, assembled in a huge hut was being given finishing
touches at the time troops rolled on to the area and found them during
subsequent search operations.
