UK fighter jet stuck in India for five weeks is finally ready to fly

A UK F-35B fighter jet stranded in India for over five weeks due to a technical issue is now ready to fly back. The state-of-the-art aircraft was diverted to Thiruvananthapuram airport after encountering bad weather during a mission in the Indian Ocean. After failed repair attempts, a team of engineers from the Royal Navy was deployed to address the snag before confirming the plane's airworthiness for its scheduled departure. The F-35B, renowned for its advanced stealth features and short take-off capabilities, generated widespread interest during its prolonged stay in India.
