UK Engineers Begin Repairs on Stranded F-35B in India
Fighter jet grounded in Kerala after emergency landing
A team of British military engineers has arrived in Kerala, India, to repair a Royal Navy F-35B fighter jet that has been stranded for three weeks following an emergency landing caused by a hydraulic failure.
The jet had diverted to Thiruvananthapuram due to bad weather and low fuel while returning from a multinational exercise.
Indian authorities have provided logistical support, underscoring close defense ties between the two nations.
