A British F-35B stealth fighter jet, one of the world's most advanced and expensive military aircraft, was stranded at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram International Airport for over five weeks following an emergency landing due to a technical fault. The jet's extended stay in India sparked a wave of memes and social media jokes, as well as curiosity about the logistics and costs of parking such a high-tech asset abroad. UK engineers were flown in to repair the hydraulic issue, and after extensive maintenance and safety checks, the jet finally departed, resuming its journey to Australia and eventually back to its carrier, HMS Prince of Wales. The incident highlighted both the operational challenges of deploying advanced military technology overseas and the importance of international cooperation in such situations. The UK expressed gratitude to Indian authorities for their support during the jet's unexpected layover.
