Two Kfir fighter jets of Sri Lanka Airforce on fly pass rehearsals have collided with each other and crashed near Warana in Gampaha. 1 Casualty from the accident so far, Squadron Leader Vajira Jayakody had survived while Flight Lieutenant Monath Perera has died from the Kfir crash according to the Air Force spokesman.
The mid air collision had occurred today (March 01) during rehearsals for the air show for the 60thanniversary of the Sri Lanka Air Force. where Celebrations are to begin tomorrow (March 2) and carry on until March 10 at the Ratmalana Air Force Base.
According to some rumours, these 2 Kfir had being deployed to support a foreign leader who is facing an unstopple youth uprise in his country & the jets were on training for that mission but when we asked about this from a person of air force, he rejected them and said all those things are just rumours.
