Such an operation has been done before
For the first time in the year 2019, an F-35 was removed from Florida from Florida by removing wings. In any such operation, every part is given security code so that technical theft can be stopped. Leaking stealth technology can cause serious threats at military and diplomatic levels.
Air India offered
Jet was parked at Bay 4 of the airport under the security of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Initially, the British Royal Navy rejected Air India’s proposal to take Jet to the hangar despite the monsoon rains in Kerala. The British Navy later agreed to take Jet to the hangar.
