Citation Flags

Added citation flags for a number of statements that look quite dubious. Elalan 14:17, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

The fact that it is a major role has to be stated so by an expert in the field. I think that statements needs to be qualified. Elalan 03:40, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Pal, I think the common sense is getting so uncommon nowadays. Do you think the Air Force will fly kites while civil war going on???  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  03:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

You still haven't answered any of my questions. How is it that the airforce has a major role to play in the civil war ? You may bring up Defence ministry statements but that is not reliable on this matter. To know it plays a major roles implies it significantly affects something ? This isn't the US airforce we are talking about here. As it stands right know what is being mentioned is an opinion. The airforce, by sheer size can't be argued to be significant. So how does it have a major role to play ? How can you measure that ? This needs to be clarified at very least or its original research. Elalan 05:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

LOL...I think Elalan seems to have a problem with the SL army, navy and airforce. You can edit all you want in here man but the fact is that you guys still cant achieve your dream, so you can get back to ur homeland.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.236.167.92 (talk)

Ranked Highly?

I think the comment that the Sri Lankan Airforce is quiet biased. In a fact, by technology and size it is far behind 1st World Nations. Maybe the introduction should be re-worded to disinclude this unsourced infomation?

Looks like a totally incompetent bunch. Huge losses, minimal successes. They don't even have a true jetfighter with an on-board radar. Kfir, MiG-27 and their chinese MiG-21F copycats only have fixed radio distance meters, which are worth next to nil in actual combat. They are repeatedly unable to shoot down the rebels' Zlin 143 elementary-trainers-converted-to-light-bombers, even though those planes barely do 250 km/h. Probably even a run-of-the-mill arab air force would rank higher in actual combat value and those guys aren't Einsteins either. 82.131.210.162 (talk) 10:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Westland WAH-64 Apache Longbow

UAV

Does Sri Linakan Airforce have any RQ-2 Pioneer...? and IAI Scouts...Scouts have all crashed...only Searcher Mk II and EMIT Blue Horizons II —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.31.110 (talk) 00:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
