A British F-35B fighter jet, valued at over $100 million, has been stuck at Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram airport for weeks, triggering global intrigue and conspiracy theories. Was it just a technical failure, or something bigger? After a weather diversion from the HMS Prince of Wales, the warplane developed a fault, keeping it grounded under constant British surveillance. Now, aviation experts and defense analysts are questioning NATO's silence. Is this about sensitive technology, secret surveillance, or a warning in the Indo-Pacific power game? From cockpit lockdowns to speculation about QUAD strategy and China-U.S. rivalry, this video unpacks every angle of one of the most curious military stories of 2025.

U.K. party threatens to 'force vote' on recognising Palestinian state
A minor opposition party in the British parliament on Sunday (July 27, 2025) threatened to bring forward legislation on recognising Palestinian statehood and "force a vote" if Prime Minister Keir Starmer continues to oppose the move. The Scottish National Party (SNP), which pushes for the independence of Scotland, said it would table a "Palestine Recognition Bill" when parliament returns after its summer recess if Starmer did not change his position. The Prime Minister has committed to recognising Palestinian statehood but said it must be part of a peace process in the Middle East. The SNP threat comes after more than 220 British MPs, including dozens from Starmer's ruling Labour party, demanded on Friday that the U.K. government follow France and recognise a Palestinian state. The call, in a letter signed by lawmakers from nine U.K. political parties, came less than 24 hours after French President Emmanuel Macron said that his country would formally do so at a U.N. meeting in September. "Unless Keir Starmer stops blocking U.K. recognition of Palestine, the SNP will introduce a Palestine Recognition Bill when Parliament returns in September and force a vote if necessary," said Stephen Flynn, SNP's leader in the U.K. parliament. "Keir Starmer must stop defending the indefensible, finally find a backbone and demand that Israel ends its war now," he added. If France formally recognises a Palestinian state it would be the first G7 country -- and the most powerful European nation to date -- to make the move. Mr. Starmer has come under rising domestic and international pressure over recognising Palestinian statehood, as opposition intensifies to the ongoing war in Gaza amid fears of mass starvation there. The U.K. leader on Saturday spoke to his French and German counterparts and outlined U.K. plans to airdrop aid to people in Gaza and evacuate sick and injured children, his office said. The SNP holds nine seats in the 650-seat UK parliament.

PM praises Nalanda weaver for innovation
Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid tribute to revolutionary freedom fighter Khudiram Bose for his bravery, patriotism and martyrdom. He also lauded Naveen Kumar of Nalanda for modernising his family's handloom business through the use of new technology. Speaking during his monthly 'Mann ki Baat' programme, the PM recalled the hanging of the 18-year-old freedom fighter in Muzaffarpur jail on Aug 11, 1908. "His face was full of pride. There was no trace of fear. Thousands of people had gathered outside the jail to bid a final farewell to a brave man. His sacrifice still inspires," Modi said, adding that August is also the month of revolution. "It was dawn. Every street, intersection and movement in Muzaffarpur seemed to have stopped at that time. There were tears in the eyes of the people, but there was fire in their hearts. People had surrounded the jail where an 18-year-old youth was paying the price for expressing his patriotism against the British. That brave, courageous youth was Khudiram Bose. At the age of just 18, he showed such courage that shook the whole country," Modi said. Quoting contemporary newspaper reports, he said, "When Khudiram Bose moved towards the noose of hanging, there was a smile on his face." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Senior Living Homes in Cisaga May Surprise You Senior Living | Search Ads Undo The PM said it was after countless such sacrifices and centuries of penance that the country finally attained independence.

India may stun everyone by rejecting Su-57 fighter jet to buy F-35 from US due to..., move may prove game changer for IAF because...
The F-35 Fighter jet-Image for representational purpose American F‑35 fighter aircraft news: As India phases out its old MiG‑21 fighter jet fleet amid growing threats from China and Pakistan, the Indian Air Force is exploring options to quickly acquire fifth-generation fighter jets. Among the top options that India has been offered are the American F‑35 and the Russian Su‑57, both seen as game-changers. It was earlier reported that India may go for the purchase of Russian Su‑57 fighter jets but as of the recent update, reports suggest that India may purchase the American F‑35 fighter aircraft. Why India may choose American F‑35 fighter aircraft? Taking about the while the F‑35 offers cutting-edge stealth and combat technology, it comes with limitations such as lack of weapons integration flexibility and possible restrictions on technology sharing. On the other hand, the Su‑57 is more compatible with India's existing defence systems and may offer opportunities for co-production under the 'Make in India' initiative. Choosing between the two could significantly influence India's defence posture and global alignments. However, reports now say that India may surprise everyone and buy US's F-35 fighter aircraft because it uses world's most advanced stealth technology, has world class network-centric warfare capabilities and this aircraft has proven itself in war. Another advantage of the F-35 aircraft is that it is extremely effective in carrying out surgical strikes against Pakistan on terrorist hideout. India's 5th-generation stealth fighter jet gets key clearance Meanwhile, the government of India, in a major push towards Atmanirbharta (self-reliance), approved the Execution Model for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme recently. As per a report by IANS news agency, the AMCA project clearance marks a critical step towards realising India's goal of joining an elite club of nations in designing and producing its own fleet of next-generation combat aircraft. The project will be helmed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), said the Defence Ministry in a press release. Designed with low radar cross-section and supercruise capability, the AMCA is seen as the successor to the frontline Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter jets. Some reports suggest that its mass production is likely to commence by 2035. (With inputs from agencies)
