generally uavs have intakes on the top as they dont need to fly at high altitudes
Isn't it the other way round?
UAV's fly high and don't need maneuverability and don't face high AoA's, so intake can be on top...and also a high aspect ratio.
F-117 also has intakes on top, but it was a bomber and not a A2A attack aircraft. So low aspect ratio with intakes on top could be done. The Iranian has low ratio by the looks of it and intakes on top, but it is a fighter, or so it seems.
