A British F-35B stealth fighter jet from the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales made an emergency landing at Kagoshima Airport in Japan on August 10, 2025, due to a technical malfunction. The incident occurred during joint military drills involving the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States. No injuries have been reported, and the emergency landing briefly disrupted commercial flights at the airport. This event follows a similar incident weeks earlier when another F-35B from the same carrier was stranded in India due to a technical fault. The F-35B variant, known for its short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) capability, has faced scrutiny for technical issues in recent months.
