Despite the rainy weather on the runway of Thiruvananthapuram airport in the Indian state of Kerala, the British multi-role stealth fighter F-35B worth about 110 million dollars remains on the ground since June 14. The aircraft cannot take off due to a hydraulic malfunction.
To fix the problem, 40 British engineers are being sent to the region along with a special tractor that will tow the F-35B to a hangar for repairs. The incident caused delays in the operation of the fighter, but experts are confident that its combat readiness will be restored soon.
The F-35B is one of the most modern and technologically advanced combat vehicles in the world, capable of performing vertical takeoff and landing. Any technical failures of this level require prompt intervention and thorough diagnostics to ensure flight safety and maintain high standards of operation.
While the plane remains on the ground, British specialists are working to fix the problem. This case highlights the importance of technical support and maintenance of modern combat platforms in operating conditions abroad.
