The Tail Tigers have acquired 5 light aircraft for their attacks, and the Gov’t has not been able to shoot them down.

The Flying Tigers airline was bought years ago by FedEx. As for your post #1, what is a tail tiger?

I don’t know the politics involved but I have to admire their clever spunk. Any idea how they armed these craft? Did they mod clamps to release 250 pounders or are they dropping mortar rounds by hand?

Haven’t got a clue.They really don’t need a lot for these aircraft to have their desired aka psychological impact.
The Tamil Tigers are arguably the most resourceful bunch of terrorists around.
