A British Royal Navy F‑35B, forced into an emergency landing at Thiruvananthapuram on June 14, remains grounded due to technical snags despite ongoing repair efforts . Kerala Tourism seized the moment, sharing a viral AI-generated image of the jet nestled among coconut trees with a fake five-star endorsement: “I don't want to leave. Definitely recommend.” The whimsical campaign highlights Kerala’s lush beaches, backwaters and cultural heritage—“God’s own country”—which drew 22.2 million tourists last year . UK and Indian teams are coordinating repairs; the jet will be moved to a maintenance hangar once UK engineers arrive. (PC: Reuters)
