Cant these acrobatics be done over the sea ? or better still, over Hambanthota. That's where everything is happening anyway.

it is well known that SLAF pilots are some of the best in the world in terms of their precision bombing with dumb bombs, that they perfected through the years. They need to keep innovating how they fly and persevere so they will be better and better each day. Incidents like these are part and parcel of that effort and they should not discourage pilots from flying higher. All the best SLAF
