A British F-35B stealth fighter jet that had been grounded in India for over five weeks has finally taken off, according to officials. The jet departed for Darwin in Australia, an Indian official said.
The F-35B fighter jet was on a routine sortie over the Indian Ocean last month when it came across bad weather roughly 100 nautical miles off the coast of India, forcing it to abandon plans to return to its aircraft carrier, the Royal Navy’s flagship HMS Prince of Wales.
