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 due to a hydraulic failure following an emergency landing.

The episode highlighted both the logistical challenges of deploying high-tech military assets abroad and the lighter side of international incidents.
