Drones move at a speed of 150kmph which is too slow and can be easily targeted. Regardless of what RCS reduction is there, it still has enough RCS to be spotted. It is not like some 5th generation plane level stealth. 50000 feet is 15km altitude and every SAM has that much altitude strike at lower ranges. Considering that it was slow moving, there is nothing to brag about. If these drones were flying at 15000 feet, MANPADS would have hit them too.

American are morons if they did not design it as stealth as possible to use this for intelligence gathering during wartime. It’s designed to replace U2, so it’s supposed to be resilience to AD threat and supposed to be able to gather intelligence in threat environment, otherwise it’s waste of money!

Are you an Idiot or what? Are truly that stupid that you can't do so much as a google search on the Global Hawk before talking nonsense?

1st The RQ-4 cruise speed is over 575kph! & it's max speed is 630kph MORON!

2ndly It's not that Iran was able to hit an aircraft at +51,000 ft, Iran hit a low RCS drone in silent mode using a Low signature, fast acting, HIGHLY MOBIIL domestically produced SAM system so it's not like Iran used some fixed site systems designed for high altitude engagement that have massive radars and massive missiles to go with them located at fixed known positions like Iranian SA-2's or S-200's and it's not like Iran used it's imported highly advanced Russian S-300's to down it!

American military experts fully understand what the downing of a US Drone like the Global Hawk using a highly mobile Iranian radar based SAM system means!

MANPAD's operate on IR and heat signature so any MANPAD that can hit a Global Hawk will also be able to hit F-35's or B-2 Bombers as long as they get close enough! MORON!

The age of operational use of Iranian land attack cruise missiles has begun with the Saudi release of the Houthi CM remains.

Engine is a turbojet but airframe is the Soumar/Kh-55 or rather a modification of it.

Saudis claims it was a Ya-Ali.

Ya-Ali is red and fairly small

Obviously color can be changed but the Houthi video made it clear it was a Soumar variant though the target was less than 200KM away which makes the choice interesting.

Against more capable militaries stealth by the most part is simply a capability against BVR and long range engagement these day's and it sure as hell doesn't mean you somehow magically become untouchable!

I actually think Ya Ali is a great candidate as a anti radiation platform and/or small targets. We do know that Soumar is being used by Yemenis simply by available footage, however the houthis maybe using Ya Ali as well for cost reduction.

To my knowledge Ya-Ali has never been shown as operational or in service with IRGC.

I actually prefer it if they underestimate our capabilities. But sadly, their military has gotten a good taste of our (in this case, air-defence) capability, so their military is not as clueless as the people writing comment on above article. I read a few of them, and I felt my IQ draining.

I thought what I posted was about air defense. lol

Then why is it in the missiles thread? Unless I'm tripping it says Missiles thread here.

تایید تست اخیر موشک بالستیک/ پاسخ سردار حاجی‌زاده به واکنش آمریکایی‌ها
ردار امیرعلی حاجی‌زاده فرمانده نیروی هوافضای سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی با تایید خبر تست موشک بالستیک اخیر اظهار داشت: ما تست‌های موشکی‌مان را انجام می‌دهیم و این کار اخیر هم تست مهمی بود.
سردار امیرعلی حاجی‌زاده فرمانده نیروی هوافضای سپاه با بیان اینکه بیش از 40 تا 50 تست در سال انجام می‌دهیم، تاکید کرد: اینکه آمریکایی‌ها نسبت به برخی از این آزمایش‌ها واکنش نشان می‌دهند نشان‌دهنده فشار به آنهاست.
سردار حاجی‌زاده البته به اسم این موشک اشاره‌ای نکرد.

Except that you must change 150km with 600km
And you also must add that the drone was equipped with the most advanced warning and counter measure available to the drones around the world .

dude WTF 150 Km !!! this one have speed of 600 km , Drones you buy from Amazon can do 150km !

I am sorry. It was 550kmph. But this is not high either. Commercial planes fly at 1000kmph. 550kmph amounts to 150m/s. Most important is that it is not maneuverable and hence can't evade any missile fired at it.

American are morons if they did not design it as stealth as possible to use this for intelligence gathering during wartime. It’s designed to replace U2, so it’s supposed to be resilience to AD threat and supposed to be able to gather intelligence in threat environment, otherwise it’s waste of money!

It is not stealthy. It just has long endurance. U2 was also not stealthy. U2 was 1960s drone. There was no stealth in 1960.

Are you an Idiot or what? Are truly that stupid that you can't do so much as a google search on the Global Hawk before talking nonsense?

Iran hit the drone using ground based SAM. I don't understans the meaning of high mobile SAM. Is it on racing car? Otherwise, a SAM system with multiple trucks having power generation to the tune of hundred kW should not find it hard to detect a big drone like RQ4. It is 6ton heavy and does not have stealth. It is also not very maneuverable and any missile that can overtake it can be easily directed to hit it.
