The special thing is that on wednesday (July 23, 2025), prime minister Narendra Modi is going on a two-day visit to England.

America's fighter jet landed in a non-NATO country
Since the 14th of last month (June), the fifth category 'invisible' F-35 aircraft was standing at trivandrum airport due to emergency landing. Initially it was told that the fighter jet was landed due to lack of fuel. Later, technical fault was again told as the reason. After reaching trivandrum airport, the fighter jet could not fly. In such a situation, it became a matter of curiosity all over the world, because for the first time the most advanced and modern fighter jet made in America was stuck in a non-NATO country.
America's claim turned out to be wrong
This F-35 fighter jet was deployed on the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier HMS-Wales. At the time of the incident, HMS-Wales was stationed in the Arabian Sea. America, england and NATO countries were also shocked because the indian air Force claimed to have 'detected' the F-35.
The air Force said that the country's IACCS i.e. Integrated air Command and Control System had detected the F-35 while flying in the Arabian Sea. Whereas America claims that no radar in the world can detect this fighter jet. America has supplied this highly advanced fighter aircraft to its allied countries including england and Israel.
