The Tamil Eelam Air Force or Sky Tigers (Tamil: வான்புலிகள்) was the air-wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), who used it against the Government of Sri Lanka. They also called themselves the Tamileelam Air Force (TAF). Though the existence of the Sky Tigers had been the subject of speculation for many years, the existence of the wing was only revealed after an attack in March 2007, during Eelam War IV.

Leur chef est le Colonel Shankar. Leur première attaque a lieu en 2007, quand deux avions LTTE bombardent l'Aéroport militaire de Katunayake dans le nord de Colombo, causant trois morts et dix-sept blessés. D'après les rapports de la LTTE, ils possédaient deux micro-avions, cinq ZLIN 143, deux hélicoptères et deux drones.
