An additional Beachcraft is also being procured as well as an additional two CJ-6 training aircraft;currently only two are operational. Further Mi-17 and Mi-24 helicopters are also being procured in a recent deal with Russia. According to the July 2009 edition of Airforces Monthly 4 Mi-17 helicopters have been purchased although the numbers of Mi-24 being bought were not disclosed.Long term procurement plansSince 2007, the Sri Lanka Air Force has been planning to increase its interceptor capability with the acquisition of Mikoyan MiG-29 from Russia[19]. It has also hope to expand its maritime patrols with long range aircraft suited for the purpose and reestablish the No. 3 Maritime Squadron.Also according to the June 2009 issue of Airforce Monthly the Mig-27 and Kfir may also be retired in the near future with the winding down of combat operations and also since the aircraft are ageing. The favoured replacement will be the Mig-29;despite rumours none have been inducted into the air force. The air force is also looking at procurement of a dedicated maritime patrol aircraft.[20][edit]Current deployments</blockquote>
