The US Air Force is reportedly looking into a computer system outage at a base it uses to operate armed drones over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. The failure could be linked to a number of fatal battlefield incidents days after it was revealed.
However, the Air Force has kept silent, refusing to publicly elaborate on either the outage or the possible impact it had.
When contacted by BuzzFeed News, military spokesman Major Malinda Singleton only said that “the investigation into the issue is ongoing.”
The system failure dates back to September 9, but was only discovered nearly a month later from a contractor notice from the government.
