Why UK Navy’s F-35 still grounded in India after emergency landing? Defence sources reveal

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) June 20, 2025 (ANI): A few days ago, the F-35 fighter jet of the UK Navy had made an emergency landing due to low fuel, after which the Indian Air Force had provided all required support, including refuelling. However, when the aircraft was going back, it developed a hydraulic failure and could not go back. A maintenance team of the UK Navy had come and tried to rectify the problem, but could not. A bigger maintenance team is expected to come to recover the aircraft. If required, the aircraft may even be taken back in a military transport aircraft: Defence officials
