Good morning All!
SLAF is readying to overhaul two Mi17 helicopters and two choppers will be sent to Georgia under USD 18 Mn contract for total of four Choppers.
SLAF has completed One Kfir Jet (Now, Kfir C12) under the Kfir fleet upgrade and overhaul program with IAI (USD 49 Mn), and its under testing phase.
US Navy granted ten TH57 Sea Ranger training and utility helicopters will arrive Colombo by May.
