A British F‑35B Lightning II stealth fighter from the HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group made an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport on Saturday (June 14, 2025) after critically low fuel during a sortie over the Arabian Sea . Adverse weather near the carrier likely prevented a safe deck recovery . The Indian Air Force confirmed the diversion was routine and provided full assistance for flight safety . The jet, unharmed, now awaits refuelling clearance and is parked securely under tight security. The incident underscores enhancing UK‑India military cooperation in the Indo‑Pacific region.
