WASHINGTON (AFP) – A drone helicopter that lost radar contact with NATO over Libya is a Fire Scout, an unmanned US chopper, defense officials said Tuesday, revealing the use of the new robotic aircraft in the war.
“We don’t know yet” why NATO’s command center in Naples, Italy lost contact with the MQ-8B Fire Scout, a US defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
