£100M F-35 stuck in Kerala: After five weeks, stranded UK fighter jet to leave India tomorrow

N EW DELHI: A British F-35B Lightning II fighter jet that was grounded at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram airport since 14 June is set to fly out on Tuesday, officials have confirmed. A joint team of aviation engineers from the UK and the US, including personnel from the British Royal Navy and Lockheed Martin, carried out extensive repairs after identifying a fault in the aircraft's hydraulic system. Despite an initial round of maintenance, the issue could not be resolved until a second team of 14 experts arrived earlier this month. The aircraft — part of the UK's HMS Prince of Wales Carrier Strike Group — had made an unscheduled landing while returning from joint maritime exercises with the Indian Navy in the Indo-Pacific. Final clearance for take-off came from the UK following a detailed technical report from the engineering team. The plane is in the hangar of the Thiruvananthapuram airport. This is the first time an F35 plane got stranded in country.

GRSE to launch eighth, final anti-submarine warfare craft

NEW DELHI: The country will mark a major milestone in indigenous shipbuilding on Monday as state-run Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) is set to launch the eighth and final Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW SWC). The launch will be attended by Vice Admiral Kiran Deshmukh, Chief of Materiel, Indian Navy. This final launch concludes GRSE's contract to deliver eight next-generation ASW SWCs as part of a broader initiative to strengthen India's maritime defence. The launch is seen as significant because of the increasing presence of submarines in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), including regular deployments by Chinese and Pakistani naval assets. These vessels are designed to safeguard India's coastline and shallow waters against any threats. The ASW SWCs are part of a Rs 12,500 crore programme to build 16 shallow water anti-submarine warfare vessels under two contracts awarded in April 2019. GRSE is building eight vessels under a Rs 6,311 crore deal, while Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) is constructing the other eight. The vessels from GRSE will form the Arnala-class, named after the lead ship INS Arnala, commissioned in June. The CSL-built ships will be classified as Mahe-class.

INS Sandhayak makes maiden port call at Port Klang in Malaysia

Indian Navy's indigenously designed and constructed Survey Vessel Large (SVL) INS Sandhayak made her maiden port call at Port Klang in Malaysia for hydrographic cooperation from July 16 to 19, according to a release here on Sunday. The visit demonstrates India's growing role in regional hydrographic capacity building under the Indian Naval Hydrographic Department (INHD) and the National Hydrographic Office framework, the release added. INS Sandhayak, commissioned in February in 2024, has full‐scale coastal and deep‐water surveying capacity, oceanographic data collection and is capable of Search and Rescue (SAR) and humanitarian operations with onboard helicopter and hospital functions. The maiden visit of the ship to port Klang aims at facilitating technical exchanges and strengthening institutional ties via concerted cooperation like sharing of survey technologies and sustained hydrographic support engagements. The key activities during the visit included in-depth knowledge exchange sessions, official receptions and events designed to foster international goodwill and elevate awareness of the MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions) vision.
