Sri Lanka to upgrade air-to-air capabilities

Sri Lanka Air Force will upgrade its air to air capabilities in the near the future and encourage more research and development programmes Air Force Commander Roshan Gunathilake said today.

“We have to purchase new aircraft as well to facilitate the phasing out old aircraft. We have to train pilots properly to meet high standards of future aircraft”, he said.

He also said the Air Force had developed its own unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which was being tested at the moment.

He said this local UAV would be demonstrated after testing a new engine for it.

“In the 80s we developed a small indigenous aircraft. We tested and flew it. Now it’s in the Ratmalana Air Force Museum.

We soon hope to build a medium range aircraft using our own resources as well”, he added.
