A British F-35B stealth fighter jet, one of the world's most advanced and expensive military aircraft, was stranded at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in Kerala, India, for over five weeks due to a technical malfunction. The jet made an emergency landing on June 14 after encountering bad weather and subsequently developed a hydraulic fault that required specialized repairs by UK engineers. During its extended stay, the jet became a viral sensation, inspiring memes and widespread media coverage. After successful repairs and safety checks, the aircraft finally departed for Australia, with the UK expressing gratitude to Indian authorities for their support. The incident highlighted both the logistical challenges of deploying high-tech military assets abroad and the unexpected cultural impact such events can have.
