And they came to study SL as a role model for development in the 60s, as I mentioned in my previous post it's always going to be a case of what have beenThough I hate the commies, times like this make me consider becoming a commie
Ah, well, the issue is, running a country takes lot of talent, and skills and resource.
Unfortunately, the ones who can make a change aren't interested, or being kept away.
Or being scared with the amount of violence.

Unfortunately someone is happy to whip up national phobia and just fear mongering just to get elected, they don't give a f*k on what happens to the country or people just hold office. Now there is no internal threat make up an external one.
This is what has been happening since independence and it's always a sad case of what could have been...Leave a comment:

Think about this:- Who represents the biggest threat to the country?
USA?
Russia?
China?
India?
or your Corrupt, Incompetent Politicians/family members/cronies/Criminal Scum/Racketeers
Something for everyone to think about.Leave a comment:

Of particular interest...
According to Japan’s Nikkei Asian Review, Malaysia approached Japan for a donation of its retired P-3Cs. However, Nikkei noted that Japan’s parliament will need to revise the foundational law of the Ministry of Defense that would allow equipment to be given to other nations at no cost, as currently some form of compensation is required by law for the transfer of Japanese national assets
If Malaysia does end up taking the former Japanese P-3s, it may find itself with high-time airframes with much of the most capable equipment removed; although there are options for airframe life-extension and avionics upgrade packages available.
Not sure why we need a naval air arm other than helicopters for the navy and coastgaurd.Last edited by LukeSkywalker; 08-10-2017, 09:32 PM.Leave a comment:

P3 is very capable platform for surveillance activities i would say (Counter smuggling, anti-piracy etc). plus it's high time we setup Naval air arm and allocate these sort of assets to them. i'm not sure why we operate a Separate Airforce element in-fact it should be a Naval Air arm we should go forward. this is just my idea.Japan likely to deliver two P-3 Orion maritime surveillance aircraft's to SLAF.
The P-3 Orion is used by numerous navies and air forces around the world, primarily for maritime patrol, reconnaissance, anti-surface warfare and anti-submarine warfare.
If Sri Lanka does end up taking the former Japanese P-3s, it may find itself with high-time airframes with much of the most capable equipment removed; although there are options for airframe life-extension and avionics upgrade packages available.
Lockheed Martin is offering a midlife upgrade to the Orion that it says removes all current airframe flight restrictions and provides 15,000 additional flight hours by the installation of new, enhanced design wings and horizontal stabilizers built with improved corrosion-resistant materials.

Guys - think!
You know how 'Business' is done in Sri Lanka. These military deals are no different than any other corrupt deals.
This has nothing to do with Airforce requirements - it's all about the Commissions and other bribes and kickbacks associated with all the corrupt deals.
Once again a few will profit at the expense of the entire country!Leave a comment:
