War is over Sir. Why do we need to expand our military more ? I'm sure theres tons of vehicles, weapons etc left over from the just concluded war....can't we use them for another few good years ?

As the War is over. Why do we need these weapons? This money can be better use for national development.

Lets take a peaceful country we all know. Singapore. Just Google search "defence spending singapore' and see what you get. This is called frogs in the well syndrome.

-1+7 # Jim Dougal 2010-12-15 20:57

-2+6 # DUMINDA 2010-12-15 13:34

TO FIGHT DENGUE ?

-2+4 # sltk2004 2010-12-15 13:51

Hmm... are we preparing for some big war?

-2+7 # Heamu 2010-12-15 14:27

It looks like MR wants to create a another Prakaran and fight with him. People have to remember that MR is responsible about 51% creating the last Prabakaran.

-1+9 # Cobra 2010-12-15 15:25

Its like the beggar who won a lottery-he goes to town and buys everything under the sun except what he really needs!!!!!!

way to go sri lanka ARMY .....

-2+5 # lankaputha 2010-12-15 15:38

The best way to be in peace is to have the best collection of weapons.. But please no more commission business. We need more money to spend on food than buying Benz cars

-0+7 # seetha 2010-12-15 15:40

Pls dont buy armoured vehicles. we dont have war. give consession to poor by that money. if you are really interested on those vehicles pls buy one or two by your private money and keep at your home.

-1+5 # kara 2010-12-15 17:28

Russia is another great country to do business with. No accountability, no one to question the governance and plenty of kick-bags!

-1+6 # THE JUDGE 2010-12-15 19:17

I thought the WAR was over in Sri Lanka. What for the new purchases. Any commission involved?

-0+5 # ACG 2010-12-15 19:26

Use this money for rehabilitation of disabled soldiers.

-1+6 # Wenu 2010-12-15 20:26

Sri Lanka is trying to become a super power or what? It seems like Rajapaksha believes in making voters happy by creating the war mentality and nothing else.

-1+6 # Reggie 2010-12-15 20:29

Are these to guard the Rajapakse family - especially Gotabaya. Afraid of Sarath Fonseka are you ????

-1+6 # Reggie 2010-12-15 20:31

This is sickening. When the cost of living is unbearable the emperor and his family needs arms for protect themselves.

-1+6 # Dr.No 2010-12-15 21:19

It is all about %%%%%!

-0+6 # chandana A 2010-12-15 21:24

The King of Sri lanka wants to protect his FORT

-0+5 # Kelby 2010-12-15 23:00

These guys have no money to feed their own people. As they claim the war is over, why the need of new vehicles? Or are they preparing that Praba might reborn?

-1+3 # siva 2010-12-15 23:00

when they come here they may never move and we may not have the required skilld to make them move as they will be discred ones well painted

-0+1 # pasel 2010-12-16 02:17

What happened with Chinese Made?

-0+1 # gamaya_1 2010-12-16 10:22

very good. Let's buy all Russian rubbish and display in SL to Americans. We can develop the tourism.

-0+1 # C.J 2010-12-16 10:39

Have regard for disable soliders who fought for the motherland just invest money on them without waisting tax payers money on few individuals for their well being.

-0+1 # Subha 2010-12-16 13:21

We make armoured vehicles in SL, right? Why do we need to import? Just upgrade the 'Unicorn'.
