United Jet fighter jets in India ready to fly

The most modern British fighter, which has been stuck at an Indian airport for more than five weeks, is ready to take off on Tuesday.

The F-35B should be “pulled by the hangar today and the departure is scheduled for Tuesday,” a spokesman at the airport told the BBC. “We have no technical details,” he added.

The F-35B landed on June 14 at Tirwanntapur Airport in Southern State Kerala, where it was diverted after encountered bad weather During sorting in the Indian Ocean. He then developed a technical schnag.

Its prolonged presence on Indian soil caused curiosity and raised questions about how a modern aircraft could remain stuck in a foreign country for so long.

After the aircraft, which was part of the Wales Prince of HMS, failed to return, the engineers from the leading carrier of the Royal Navy visited him to repair him.

But they failed to repair it two weeks ago, the United Kingdom Department of Defense said They had deployed a team of 14 engineers “at TirwanantaPram Airport to evaluate and repair the F-35B aircraft.”

The team came with the specialized equipment necessary for the process of movement and repair, the statement said. Videos from the weather showed that the F-35B was drawn to a hangar.

There was speculation that if the technicians were unable to repair the aircraft, it would have to be dismantled and carried out on a larger freight aircraft, such as a C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft.

In the last two weeks, the UK’s Supreme Commission in India and the defense authorities have responded to the BBC messages, saying they will not share details of the repair.

But on Monday, an airport employee told the BBC that “the aircraft was confirmed as a flying”.

It is planned to be removed from the hangar on Monday morning, he said, adding that the exact time of his departure is “will still be reported which airport will be used to refuel on the road to London or when the reserve plane will arrive to transport the technicians and equipment back.”

The F-35B are highly advanced stealth jets made up of Lockheed Martin and are valued because of their short take-off and vertical landing.

The images of the “lonely F-35B”, parked on the asphalt and soaked in the rains of the monsoons in Kerala, made it the object of jokes and memory, with many assuming that he did not want to leave the picturesque state of Kerala, described as the “God’s country” in the tourist brochures.

The case of inclined planes of $ 110 million (80 million pounds) was also raised in the House of Commons.
