A British F-35B stealth fighter jet, one of the world's most advanced and expensive military aircraft, has finally departed from Kerala, India after being stranded for over five weeks due to a hydraulic failure.
The jet made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport on June 14 and was grounded while awaiting repairs by a UK engineering team. Its extended stay sparked a wave of memes and public fascination in both India and the UK. The UK expressed gratitude to Indian authorities for their support during the repair and recovery process.
The jet has now resumed its journey, reportedly heading to Australia to rejoin its carrier group.
