F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

A British F-35B Lightning II fighter jet made an emergency landing at Kagoshima Airport (KOJ) in southwestern Japan after a reported malfunction.

A British Royal Navy F-35B fighter jet remains grounded at Thiruvananthapuram airport more than 48 hours after an emergency landing.

The Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), a joint UK-Italy-Japan effort, aims to deliver a sixth-generation fighter by 2035 but faces delays, prompting Japan to consider more Lockheed Martin F-35s.
