Why A British F-35 Fighter Jet Made Emergency Landing In Kerala | Read
A British F-35B fighter jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Kerala on Saturday night, after dangerously running low on fuel while flying a mission over the Arabian Sea.
The stealth aircraft, part of the UK's HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group, was operating in the Indo-Pacific and had recently wrapped up joint maritime drills with the Indian Navy. Military sources say the jet encountered adverse weather near the aircraft carrier, which made it unsafe for a recovery at sea. With fuel levels dropping critically, the British pilot requested clearance to land on Indian soil.
