1983 and 2009. Casualty figures from that war are contested and are attributed: a UN Secretary-General&rsquo;s panel found credible allegations that as many as 40,000 civilians may have been killed in the final months, which the government rejected, calling the campaign a humanitarian operation.

The air force&rsquo;s history recalls its commander, Air Commodore Paddy Mendis, three months into the job, being called to Temple Trees by Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike. The Jet Provosts, in storage since the 1960s, were serviced and armed in three days and flew from China Bay to Katunayake attacking rebel positions on the way; JetRangers flew ammunition and supplies to isolated police stations for twelve hours a day. Help arrived from across the Cold War divide: six Indian Chetak helicopters, spares by USAF C-141, Bell 47Gs, and on 22 April five Soviet MiG-17Fs, a MiG-15UTI and two Ka-26s flown in by An-22s with about 200 Soviet personnel.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> The insurrection was put down within weeks.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">Sorties and the air force&rsquo;s own share of insurgent casualties are not published.

Of about 80 aircraft, 64 were reported operational in early 1988. From 1987 Chinese Y-8 transports were used as bombers. On 4 June 1987 India dropped about 25 tons of supplies over Jaffna from five An-32s escorted by Mirage 2000s (Operation Poomalai); Sri Lanka accused India of violating its sovereignty, and its air force did not intervene.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> Ended with the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord of July 1987 and the arrival of the Indian Peace Keeping Force.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">Figures are from Wikipedia&rsquo;s history of the service; the air force&rsquo;s own detailed history pages are no longer online.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<dl class=\"cdl\">\n<dt>Flying for<\/dt>\n<dd>Sri Lanka Air Force<\/dd>\n<dt>Where<\/dt>\n<dd>Northern and Eastern Provinces<\/dd>\n<dt>Alongside<\/dt>\n<dd>No allied air arm<\/dd>\n<dt>Against<\/dt>\n<dd>LTTE and other Tamil militant groups<\/dd>\n<dt>Aircraft<\/dt>\n<dd>Bell 212, Bell 412, SF.260, Cessna 337, Y-8<\/dd>\n<dt>Sources<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sri_Lanka_Air_Force\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> &middot; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Operation_Poomalai\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> &middot; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforce.lk\/history.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sri Lanka Air Force<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"crow\" data-more=\"cd2\" data-x=\"Northern and Eastern Provinces Sri Lanka Air Force No allied air arm F-7 J-5 Pucar&#225; Mi-17 Bell 212 Y-8 Y-12\">\n<td>Eelam War II<span class=\"cwho\">1990&ndash;1995<\/span><span class=\"cserv\">Sri Lanka Air Force<\/span><\/td>\n<td>1990&ndash;1995<\/td>\n<td>LTTE<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/chengdu-j-7\/\">F-7<\/a>, J-5, Pucar&#225;<span class=\"cwho\">and 4 more<\/span><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><button class=\"cbx\" type=\"button\" data-more=\"cd2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"cd2\">Detail<\/button><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"cdet\" id=\"cd2\">\n<td colspan=\"7\">\n<div class=\"cdin\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"crole\">Close support, bombing, transport and casualty evacuation; the first fast jets since 1971 (F-7, J-5) and the first Pucar&#225;s and Mi-17s.<\/p>\n<p>After the Indian Peace Keeping Force left in 1990 the war resumed.

Human Rights Watch reported over one hundred dead and eyewitnesses blaming air force strikes, while military sources said they could not verify where the bombs came from; the ICRC&rsquo;s figure rose from 65 to about 147 (as summarised by Wikipedia). The government first denied involvement. Kfirs from 1996 and MiG-27s from 2000 gave the air force a real strike force. Operation Jayasikuru (1997) was, in the air force&rsquo;s words, its most arduous undertaking. On 24 July 2001 Black Tigers attacked Katunayake: TamilNet reported 13 aircraft destroyed that morning; Wikipedia lists eight military (two Kfirs, a MiG-27, a Mi-24, a Mi-17, three K-8s) and three SriLankan Airlines Airbuses.

Kfirs and MiG-27s flew daily strikes on LTTE targets; a Kfir and MiG-27 attack on a building at Kilinochchi on 2 November 2007 killed the head of the LTTE political wing, S. P. Thamilselvan, and five others, which the LTTE itself announced. Six F-7Gs arrived in 2008 to counter the LTTE&rsquo;s light aircraft. The UN Secretary-General&rsquo;s Panel of Experts (report dated 31 March 2011) found credible allegations that as many as 40,000 civilians may have been killed in the final months, most by government shelling, and that the LTTE used civilians as human shields and killed those trying to flee.

On 20 February 2009 two Zlins, each with 215 kg of C-4, flew on a suicide mission against air force headquarters and Katunayake; one was shot down and hit the Inland Revenue building in Colombo, the other fell to anti-aircraft fire near Katunayake.
