A state -of -the -art British fighter jet, trapped in Indian airports for more than five weeks, will fly on Tuesday.
The F-35B is scheduled to withdraw from the hangar today and is scheduled to start on Tuesday, “the airport spokesman added,” We have no technical details. “
The F-35B landed on June 14 at the Thiruvananthapuram airport in southern Kerala and switched after bad weather occurred during the Indian classification. Then I developed a technical obstacle.
The long -term existence of India’s soil has been curious and questioned how such modern aircraft can be stranded in foreign countries.
After the plane, which was part of the HMS Prince Wales’ fleet, could not return, Royal Navy’s main engineers visited it to modify this.
But they could not repair it, and two weeks ago, the British Department of Defense said that 14 engineer teams were “assigned to evaluate and repair the F-35B aircraft at the Thiruvananthapuram airport.”
The team was provided with the professional equipment necessary for the movement and repair process, the statement said. At that time, the video showed that the F-35B was towed with a hangar.
It was speculated that if the technician failed to repair the aircraft, it would have to be dismantled and performed on a larger cargo plane such as the C-17 Globemaster Transport Aircraft.
Over the past two weeks, the British High School Mistress and Defense authorities in India have said that they will not share details about repairs about the BBC’s message.
But on Monday, an airport official told the BBC, “The aircraft is confirmed to be useful.”
He will be withdrawn from the hangar on Monday morning, and the exact time of departure has not been delivered yet, and the airport will arrive on the way to London or when the backup aircraft arrives to re -transport the technician and equipment. ”
The F-35B is a luxury stealth jet produced by Lockheed Martin and is famous for its short takeoff and vertical landing capacity.
The image of the “Lonely F-35B”, which was parked on the runway and absorbed by Kerala Monsoon Rain, has become the subject of many jokes and memes that suggest that Kelera’s scenery described in the tourist brochure as “the kingdom of God.”
The case of the stranded $ 110m (80 million pound) jet was also raised from the House of Representatives.
