"Engineering Issues": UK High Commission On F-35 Jet Stuck In Kerala

It has been nearly two weeks the British F-35B fighter jet made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram airport. Since then there has been no sign the American-made aircraft, from the world's most expensive fighter jet programme - will take flight soon. And now the British High Commission in Bengaluru has responded to a question from NDTV about the plane's status, and also issued a statement on this subject. The advanced fifth-generation fighter - part of the Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group deployed to the Indo-Pacific - was returning to its base after completing joint maritime exercises with the Indian Navy when it made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram.
