The British fighter F-35B is expected to get stuck at the Indian airport for almost a month, provoking memes and cartoons on social media, departing back home next week, Indian officials said.
Stealth Širovac, one of the most advanced and advanced and most modern in the world, was stuck at the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport in the southern state of Kerala because of the technical restoration and repaired by British engineers, the officials said. Officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not entitled to talk to the media.
Last month, the aircraft was on a regular combat struggle in the Arab Sea, when it came across bad weather and could not return to the flagship Royal Navy, the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, the officials said.
The plane was then diverted to Thiruvananthapuram, where it was safely landed on June 14. Officials said engineers hope to repair the aircraft in the next few days before it can fly back to Great Britain next week.
The stuck military aircraft, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, launched generated by generated AI memes in India. In a contribution on social media, the Ministry of Tourism in Kerala showed an aircraft on the asphalt surrounded by coconut trees and published a fictitious five -star overview. “Kerala is such an amazing place, I don’t want to leave. I definitely recommend,” he said.
The highest state official at the Tourism Department K. Biju said that the contribution was issued in “good humor”.
“It was our way to appreciate and thank the British, who are the biggest incoming visitors to Kerala for tourism,” Biju said.
Another cartoon published on X showed that the aircraft used refreshments with a group of local residents against a picturesque background.
The British High Commission confirmed The Associated Press that the British engineering team was deployed to “assess and repair” the aircraft.
In India, there was speculation that if engineers could not remedy the aircraft, it could be partially dismantled and transported in a freight level. The British Defense Ministry rejected speculation in the -mail statement.
