UK fighter jet stuck in India for five weeks leaves for Australia
A UK fighter jet stuck in India for over five weeks due to bad weather and technical issues has finally left for Australia. The F-35B aircraft, part of the HMS Prince of Wales fleet, was repaired at Thiruvananthapuram airport before continuing its journey. The situation sparked curiosity and jokes online, with the modern jet being stranded in "God's own country," Kerala. The Royal Navy's flagship carrier's presence in the region likely led to the jet's destination in Darwin.
