| A British Royal Navy F‑35B stealth fighter jet has been grounded at Thiruvananthapuram airport in Kerala since mid-June after an emergency landing due to bad weather and a hydraulic failure. The £100 million jet remains stranded as a specialist UK team prepares repairs, while Indian authorities provide support and manage security for the advanced aircraft. The situation highlights Indo-UK defence cooperation, logistical challenges, and possible costs linked to extended airport parking and sensitive technology safeguards. |
