A team of UK experts is inspecting an F-35B fighter jet stuck in India for over three weeks. The jet was diverted to Thiruvananthapuram airport due to an emergency and a technical snag prevented its return to the UK. The advanced stealth aircraft, valued at $110m (£80m), has sparked curiosity and raised questions as the team works to assess and repair it at the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facility.
