Why Armed Drones Bought For Afghanistan Still Aren't Operational

It's being reported that armed drones bought to support British forces in Afghanistan may not fly until after troops have left the country.

The drones, which cost more than £100 million, have been hit by delays to their delivery and technical problems.

That's according to research by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, published in the Independent newspaper.
