UK fighter jet stuck in India for five weeks is finally ready to fly
A UK fighter jet, an F-35B, has been stranded in India for over five weeks after encountering technical issues. The aircraft landed in Kerala, India, on June 14th due to bad weather, and subsequently reported a technical snag. The British Royal Air Force (RAF) has been working closely with the Indian authorities to resolve the issue and prepare the aircraft for its return flight. The delay has been attributed to the need to carefully inspect and address the technical problem to ensure the safe return of the aircraft. While the specifics of the technical snag have not been disclosed, the prolonged stay of the fighter jet in India has highlighted the challenges that can arise during international military exercises and deployments. The successful resolution of this incident is expected to strengthen the ongoing defense cooperation between the UK and India.
