1.) The LTTE have way more experience, topping the NPA. Yeah the NPA have been an organization longer, but the LTTE higher ups were trained by and were former members of India's foreign intelligence agency. Plus many of them were guerrilla fighters way before the formation of the People's Army.

2.) The NPA are jungle fighters and are stationed in the jungles. The LTTE are, or were, everywhere and they were funded and armed by the Indian government. Plus they make their money by human extortion and money laundering.

3.) The NPA are masters of stealth...the LTTE, not so much

Plus the LTTE never carried the MGL
