A British F-35B stealth fighter jet, stranded in India for over a month due to technical issues, has successfully departed after repairs by UK engineers. The $115 million aircraft, grounded at Thiruvananthapuram airport following bad weather in June, was initially diverted from the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier. Its departure to a British carrier in Darwin, Australia, follows the resolution of hydraulic and auxiliary power unit problems. The incident generated humorous memes and cartoons on Indian social media.
