poojeets should confiscate it

>>63838412 (OP)
Should've have chose FA-50 BLOCK 20, on par with F35

>>63838531
Can that fly from a carrier?

>>63838412 (OP)
why did he redeem?!

shit what do you even do in that situation. that airport probably isnt prepared or able to handle a fucking f35 landing there, and thats really fucking scary to have show up out of the blue. spooky bois in black suits showing up at your door in 35 second spooky. do you just let the military rock up and just say yes to everything they demand.

lets flip this to some bumfuck nowhere hobbiest airport in the middle of kansas or something. redneck airfield ran by cletus and his buddies on the weekends to fly their home welded prop planes. suddenly a fucking f35 happens to go down RIGHT ABOVE YOU and lands at your barely fucking recognizable field. what do. drive away as fast as possible and go innawoods for a few weeks since my names cletus and i live in a town of 500 people with 8 last names?

>>63838558
with easy modification

>>63838412 (OP)
Jeets could just steal it. The UK won't bother getting into a conflict over it.

>>63838412 (OP)
The British government has got to use a lot of political goodwill to convince India to return the F35 to Britain instead of selling it to Russia.

>>63838587
Its standard operating procedure to carry at least 3TB of hardcore western porn and $125 in unredeemed giftcards as part of your flight gear when operating anywhere in the Indian Ocean.
This can be used in SERE-situations to persuade,bribe or distract local forces in cases such as this

Pilot would literally have been better off ditching it in the sea. What a blunder letting the Bongs have the F-35

Let me guess, it flew too close to an electrical storm?

>>63838626
Kek

>>63838623
>>63838625
>>63838678
Are you stupid?
US has already tried to offer the F35 to the jeets, and had them in pooland for airshows

>>63838678
The British and Indian navies were conducting joint exercises just a few days ago, it would be a bad look on India to not return their exercises partners’ jet fighters, whatever monetary gain India could get by selling the F35 to Russia is worth less than the loss of the training which comes with conducting joint exercises with more experienced militaries, after countries start refusing to conduct military exercises with India

Is everyone ITT fucking retarded? UK and India are almost allies

So Indian 2.0 jet lands in India?

>>63838697
No, poo particles clogged the pitot tube

>>63838731
>US has already tried to offer the F35 to the jeets,
They had a concept of a plan to discuss offering the F-35 to India.
>>63838751
>UK and India are almost allies
In what sense? What kind of treaty do they have?
>they train together!
Russia and Ukraine did joint exercises together. Doesn't mean a lot.

>>63838751
why land at a civilian airport then so the public can see?

>>63839118
Probably because it’s the closest suitable landing field?

How does this work? Do they let the Indian maintenance crew try to fix it? Are there people taking as many pictures as they can right now?

>>63838587
Some people like you are sperging about this but frankly it's unlikely to amount to anything. No, India isn't a close ally, but they aren't an enemy either, they've got ample reason to be worried about China (not least an outright land border fight ongoing), and ample reason to want to walk the line with respect to the US. As a practical matter as well we've moved beyond the point where a teardown would even do India much good. Most of the most challenging aspects of the F-35 or other advanced aircraft is in manufacturing and maintenance. Having a modern ultra advanced superalloy turbine blade in your hand gives you exactly zero help in making one of your own. Same with fabricating silicon or nearly anything else in there. You can't anything useful out of the computers, and even if you did decompile some of it everything will be ultra specific to the system and constantly getting worked on.

Not that the poos can't act like retards on many occasions so who knows for sure. But given Modi pays at least some attention to national (or at last his) interests I'd actually be mildly surprised if they didn't just figure out something no big deal. Perhaps they do some photo op or whatever. But it's not worth burning any bridges for.

>saaaaaaaaaaar coded' jet returns to its maker
LMAO

the f35 is simply 'home' now

>>63838751
>UK and India are almost allies
lmao, the uk is an overseas indian province, ofcourse they are!

>>63839112
That 'concept' including taking the jet to Indian airshows with outright hostile nations present?
Sounds like a fucking stupid 'concept'

>>63838412 (OP)
>It is understood the aircraft was unable to land on the carrier due to adverse weather and diverted in the interest of safety
Why are F-35s so shit at dealing with anything but the calmest and clearest weather conditions?

>>63839166
The bong and american governments get in contact with the indian government (indeed, already will have long since, possibly before it even actually touched down making an emergency landing) and work something out, probably sending in their own maintenance and parts. Maybe they make some payment, maybe not (because India isn't outright hostile, and has been working hard on doing a new trade deal with American which is worth a shitload of money, and there's been plenty of military dealings over the last few years). Sure probably take some pictures but big whoop at this point.

>>63839166
>How does this work? Do they let the Indian maintenance crew try to fix it?

holy FUCK the absolute state of the shit-balts that plague this board


yah you stupid cum eater
the jeets ran out onto the tarmac with socket wrenches, screw drivers and un-redeemed gifcards and went to town on the f35

couple hours later and a little bit of gas in the tank, and the f35 was golden!

>>63839190
The F-35 is an actual real aircraft flying in real numbers for real, not a placebo aircraft used for air shows. When you've built over 1100 of the things and are flying them worldwide in actual training pushing the frames and crews then shit will happen from time to time.

>>63839190
>why aren't you risking your life when you don't have to

>>63838418
no tail code?
i assume it's from the 809 NAS?

>>63838412 (OP)
>BREAKING
Fucking thirdies, if the pilot gets the runs he'll make an emergency landing in peacetime.

>>63839204
I may be an idiot but I got my questions answered so who's the real winner in this conversation?

>>63839254
>Be Royal Navy airman
>Curry for lunch on the boat
>Go out on patrol
>Stomach starts grumbling
>Force the jet down at the closest thing resembling a runway to empty your bowels
>Come out from the bushes to see Indians around your jet
>Guess it's curry for dinner

>>63839272
kek, decisive jeet victory.

>>63839254
>A British F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at Trivandrum International Airport on Saturday night after reporting low fuel levels. The aircraft had sought immediate permission to land, citing a fuel emergency.
fucking firsties not checking their gas tank before the light goes on

>>63839166
>The British side has now requested permission from the Central government to refuel the fighter jet. The request is currently under review, and clearance is awaited from the Centre [India's central government].

>>63839166
The pilot will be expected to stay with the plane the whole time and no one that hasn't trained on it will work on it.
If work was required the bongs would send their own guys.

>>63839377
Airframe was saved and jeets got reminded the bong is always watching, not a terrible outcome.

>>63839377
> citing a fuel emergency.
Uh oh. Grape-y ain’t doing his job. Grape-y gonna get punished

>>63839477
>grape-y
?

>>63839488
The dudes responsible for fueling aircraft on carriers wear purple shirts. Hence, Grape.

>>63839525
Well, at least on American carriers. Many countries adopted the same convention.

The Brits probably use old tea bags or something to identify the various departments.

>>63839423
>The pilot will be expected to stay with the plane the whole time
meanwhile

>>63839112
>>UK and India are almost allies
>In what sense? What kind of treaty do they have?
India helped with the Chagos deal and Starmer has made it easier for Britons to work in India and vice-versa.

>>63839564
>and vice-versa
what an amazing labour government

>>63839544
I don't mean hugging it anon, it'll be in his sight.

>>63838412 (OP)
>>63838418
Hold up, are those turds on the side of the runway?

>>63839118
>why land at a civilian airport then so the public can see?
Why not?
It's perfectly legal to request landing clearance from an airport to refuel.
This is basically a commercial transaction.

>>63839733
Is big street

>>63839118
>public can see
It's not a B-2 in the 90s anon, they have been in public airshows.

>>63839822
And for the most part, jet fuel is jet fuel.

>>63839259
>so who's the real winner in this conversation?
Not our collective intelligence, that's for sure.

>>63839423
>jeets got reminded the bong is always watching
The bongs had been invited around for a fishing trip, I don't think they minded having a jet parked in their yard until the pilot's blood alcohol levels had dropped off.

>>63839188
>vaporware Su57 with big panel gaps held together with misaligned row of literal exposed screws
>F35 flies in with pristine condition and advanced features
>”check us out, they look a flying turd compared to us”
>jeets: turd? Say no more.
When will they stop their miscalculations and ignorance…

>>63838625
They should just sell this one to India desu. See what they can get for it

>>63839188
shit happened all the time in the cold war numbnuts.

>Have to call your ship and let them know where you are

>>63838621
Are you retarded? They'd have to convert it to STOVL?
If it was converted to the C model for regular non-homosexual carrier take-offs it would only be 15% heavier. Its ability to carry munitions would be seriously hampered.

>>63838587
Or maybe India wanted to test out the F-35 but the UK didn't want to ramp up hostilities with Pakistan more than they are right now. What do you do?

>>63839188
They turned their radar on during this

>>63838453
the normal practice between neutral countries during peacetime is to simply return the plane when this happens, though they can charge very inflated rates for airport services if they so desire. see >>63840650


Any kind of internment or confiscation is seen as belligerent.

Are not Russia / China interested in this? I don't know relationship with China, but they're friendly with russians right?

>>63841231
>Any kind of internment or confiscation is seen as belligerent.
Migs (multiple countries, sometimes returned with missing parts and broken), Shrike missile Brazil, tanks...

>>63841099
That's good for them, but you can literally see the luneburg lenses on the F-35.

>>63841363
That's why it's funny.

>>63838587
>>63839190
This kind of shit happens, anon. A few years ago a bunch of Rafales had to do an emergency landing in Indonesia because the weather turned into a tempest and they couldn't land on the Charles de Gaulle. The planes were secured by the Indonesian army, then the pilots prepared their planes alone like big boys and then they took off.

>>63841497
Did they charge them the airport fees?

>>63839564
One of the worst deals in history. You're paying £101 million a year to give back your own territory to another country who never controlled it, and letting the Americans use it instead of you. It's such a bad deal that it's comical.

>>63838625
the best we can offer them is 5,000,000 unconditional visas

>>63838531
the latest Block 20 version of the FA-50 ordered by Poland and Malaysia is better than the previous version as it had newer capabilities and can be considered as a "mini-MRCA" with AESA radar and AIM-120 capabilities which put them on par with F-35 and older aircraft like Gripen, Rafale, F-18F Superhornet and F-15EX. The FA-50 capability is as good as a Multi Role Combat Aircraft, a bigger and more expensive fighter jet. The RMAF FA-50 has completely changed the equation in the region and will be the most advanced aircraft in region.

The biggest problem facing RMAF right now is the insufficient number of fighter aircraft in service. With only 8 F/A 18D, 18 Su 30MKM and 16 BAE Hawk, despite Malaysia having a large airspace. Malaysian main weakness is to fifth generation aircraft as Su-30MKM is superior to F-18F/F-15E.

Hope it wasn't a female pilot

>>63843943
It's a bong F35 so a female bong pilot would have plenty of experience fending off a jeet mob.

>>63841322
>I don't know relationship with China
Look in to it.

>Having a modern ultra advanced superalloy turbine blade in your hand gives you exactly zero help in making one of your own.

You could hit it with an x-ray spectroscope and get the exact alloy composition for free without even leaving a trace of the procedure on the blade.
If you have no clue about something, you know, there's always the option of shutting up.
