This drone crash-landed in Iran. Proof below:
You can clearly notice some structural damage; so much for the claims of piloting it safely to the ground.
And there is more to this incident then meets the eye:
"At the beginning, the U.S. decided not to disclose the news because the robot might have crashed in the mountains, where no one would ever find it, or have suffered extensive damage that would make it useless in the hands of the Iranian analysts. And, by giving the news, they would have admitted they had undertaken spy missions inside the Iranian airspace, thus confirming they had joined Israel in the covert war on the Iranian nuclear program.
However, a shepherd found it almost intact and the news spreads, forcing the U.S. to admit the loss. Iran was given a great, unexpected opportunity to show it to the world and to make some propaganda “advertising” some of their (existing) capabilities in the Electronic and Cyber Warfare fields."

Of-course, the 'shepherd found it' part did not fit into Iranian state-driven narrative and was completely omitted.
For comparison sake, take a look at the images of American drones which crash-landed in Afghanistan on different occasions due to technical reasons:
In both instances, the drones were found to be largely intact on the ground. I suppose that the Taliban are expert hackers as well.
Secondly, an RQ-170 drone is nowhere close to F-22A Raptor in the aspects of STEALTH and warfare capabilities; two entirely different class of birds.
Donkey brain, there is only one problem with your theory, Iran was tracking the RQ-170 prior to downing it.
Also, comparing RQ-170 which has a flight ceiling twice that of the MQ-1 shows what an imbecile you are. A UAV "crashed" from 50,000 feet in one piece?
