Shit happens. It is natural order of things. Problems begin when shit start to happen routinely.
Probability of shit happening is proportional to the complexity of device. More components device contain, more complex that components are, more chances of shit could happen.
Clever engineering is when you find balance between purpose, complexity and reliability. If you need to add some complex thing to the design and preserve reliability on the same level, you have to simplify other things. Everybody do former, but all forgot to do latter.
Also, modern trend of making everything computerised, and so much more complex than necessary, inevitably makes shit happens routinely. And this is not even talking about adding all that computer problems with bugs, backdoors, hacking and so on. And not talking about deterioration of engineering culture due to computerising everything. Why bother to properly and thoughtfully engineer and design something if you could just drop a computer in between to do anything you need?
It's only been a little over a year, but already many questions about this incident have been forgotten. That's how it works and They know it. To refresh, here's an article from just afterwards, and a quote to entice reading:
Armed with this information, what can we speculatively adduce? Simple: the downed F-35B Stealth fighter-bomber was likely carrying at least a tactical nuclear weapon and its mission was to drop that weapon somewhere along its flight path (hence, the military is not providing the public with the flight path that would enable skeptics to surmise what the actual nuclear target in fact was).
The possible motive behind this mission was to orchestrate a False Flag attack on the U.S. itself (and for anyone who doesn’t believe that an American administration would be so Machiavellian and unspeakably evil as to actually do this, I refer you to Operation Northwoods; please look this up).

Things are just gonna get crazier with automated (AI) tech/mech, I think.
