Even IAI replaced damaged Kfir jets, SLAF did the correct thing by not sending them.

Sri Lanka to protest over US fighter jets 'intrusion'

Sri Lanka's foreign ministry plans to protest to the United States after fighter jets intruded into the Sri Lanka's airspace last week, the local Sunday Times newspaper said.

The squadron of 10 fighter jets, believed to be from the US Seventh Fleet, had not filed a flight plan before flying into Sri Lankan territory.

The intrusion was detected by Sri Lanka Air Force personnel, who were monitoring the Sri Lanka's air defence system.

"We believe is a procedural violation not a deliberate intrusion," a senior air force official who declined to be named told AFP.

"There were instances where we told them to move out of our airspace."

The External Affairs Ministry planned to hand a protest note to the US embassy in Colombo.

I have a feeling could be looking/spying on Sri Lanka, due to the assassination of thousands of innocent civillians by the government few years ago perhaps?
