    According to the pictures looks like SLAF team inspected below Russian products and
    visited the stall Of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).

    The Yak-130 two-seat operational trainer provides for the basic and advanced training of pilots for existing and future warplanes, including generation “4++” and “5” ultra-maneuverable fighters.

    The MiG-35 multi-role fighter representing further refinement of the MiG-29K/KUB and MiG-29M/M2 warplanes aimed at higher combat effectiveness and versatility, as well as better operating performance.

    The Su-30SM multirole fighter is the further development of the Su-30MK combat aircraft family. The Su-30SM two-seat fighter is supermaneuverable, equipped with active phased array radar, thrust vectoring engines and canard surfaces. The fighter can use modern and advanced precise air-to-air and air-to-surface armament.

    Yakalov 130 - which he is pictured in as well. A much better choice compared to JF-17 if they are looking seriously.

    The Helitours MA-60 aircraft normally touches down at 1600hrs (4.30pm) or sometimes a bit late too.

    Finally they've overhauled the F-7BS aircraft too! So I think now there are 4 F-7 fighters in service with the ones that joined recently? First two registrations are SFI-782 and SFI-783. Wonder what the other two are?
    Heard that even the other C-130K, SCH-881 (former SCH-3402) is also nearing the overhaul completion. So I think we will have 2 C-130K Hercules back in the fleet again like the good old times.

    Sri Lanka Air Force had trained one of their F-7 fighter aircraft during the past two days. I got information that it was an air test that was done by a Chinese pilot. Today hopefully there will be another test flight from Katunayake, that will be to the North of VCBI, towards Kurunegala. Wonder what these tests are for?


    This explains all.
