Actually building of stealth UAV is not easy, you will need nano-polymers, which only three countries in the world can produce, Iran included, Iran is very capable in the nanotechnology sector... You can import the material but it will cost you almost cost you 5 million USD with this money you can buy some of the best UAV around the world such as: Reaper, that's why Russia military insist on importing several UAV from Israel. Somethings are better to be bought instead of building inside the country. We had to build the nano-polymers our own because no one would sell it to us.
About Russia anti-aircraft capability... everyone knows it's the best in the world, no one in the world can challenge Russia about it's missile superiority.
I was talking about producing a drone, not about its cost. Everything stealth related is expensive. The F-22 program cost over 60 billions dollars. When i said it was easy to built a stealth drone i was talking about a very simple, very small, very low tech drone. No fancy avionics, just something that has a very low rcs. In otherwords something that can be used to test air defences.
