''The I.R.A. has shown its ability to sustain itself and that it can still mount successful military operations to keep the pressure on the British,'' said Brendan O'Leary, a lecturer in government at the London School of Economics, who has studied the guerrilla movement. ''This also demonstrates that the I.R.A. has weathered the storm of the Anglo-Irish Agreement.'' Effect on Public Opinion

British troops, rather than members of locally recruited security forces, are the preferred targets for the I.R.A. largely because they are the most visible sign of the British presence in Northern Ireland and such killings have the greatest effect on British public opinion. ''One dead British soldier is worth four dead Royal Ulster Constabulary men,'' an I.R.A. official said recently, referring to the Northern Ireland police force.

Gerry Adams, president of Sinn Fein, the political arm of the I.R.A., calls violence the ''cutting edge'' of what his movement regards as a struggle for ''national self-determination.'' In an interview last month with The Sunday Tribune, a Dublin newspaper, he said ''there is a very widespread tolerance of actions against the British Army,'' so assaults on British troops are ''not only the right thing to do but also the clever thing to do.''



The I.R.A. has achieved its goal of killing British troops with the help of ample supplies of hard-to-detect plastic explosives and a strategy of going after the soldiers when they are off-duty. Of the 27 British troops killed this year, 20 were off duty when they were attacked.

Charges of Libya Connection

The plastic explosive used in most of the recent bomb attacks - Semtex, a Czechoslovak-made variety - has been given to the I.R.A. by Libya, according to British intelligence reports. Libya has also been responsible for increased shipments of other weapons including mortar shells, automatic rifles and even anti-aircraft missiles. Tripoli's generosity toward the I.R.A. reportedly began in earnest in 1986, shortly after the Thatcher Government permitted the United States to use air bases in Britain for the raid on Libya.

According to British intelligence reports, the I.R.A. has a core of 250 to 300 trained regulars in the province, with perhaps no more than 60 of them actively engaged in planning and operations at any one time. The guerrillas are typically part of the decentralized local units of 6 to 12 members.

The I.R.A. central command, the seven-member Army Council, is based in Dublin, and movement by I.R.A. members back and forth across the border is common.
Beyond the core group, there are an estimated 2,000 active sympathizers, mostly in the Catholic urban slums and among some poorer Catholic farmers, who provide ''safe houses'' for the I.R.A. and gather intelligence. For example, it is believed to be I.R.A. sympathizers at or near Aldergrove airport in Belfast who spotted the British soldiers arriving last weekend and passed on that information to the bomber.

The I.R.A. spends an estimated $2.2 million a year on operations and on weekly payments of about $34 to I.R.A. members and the families of prisoners. Some of the funds, though less in recent years, come from American donations. But most are generated from illegal activities and legitimate businesses the I.R.A. controls like drinking clubs, taxicabs, extortion rackets and robberies, British security officials say
