Stranded F-35B May Be Dismantled for Transport to the UK
Engineers may take apart a special British jet, the F-35B, that's stuck in India.
This jet has important secrets, so only trained experts can take it apart.
They have to be very careful to make sure no secrets are stolen.
The plane uses smart technology to fly and has features that make it hard to see on radar.
The British military will keep a close eye on the dismantling process to protect the jet's technology.
F-35B fighter jet in Kerala may be dismantled to fit in a C-17 Globemaster.
Dismantling requires engineers trained by Lockheed Martin.
The process demands careful monitoring and security to prevent data breaches.
The aircraft has stealth coating, radar blockers, and AI-powered features.
Foreign access to the F-35 poses security concerns.
