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.
You need to stop talking about matters you don't have a clue about because you only make yourself looks like a moron.
The UAV was flying at above 50,000 feet when Iran downed it, that by itself was a feat. Seconly, only bunch of clueless kids like you are acting as if this UAV was some helpless dove. This UAV had the sophisticated electronic warfare suit made by Raytheon. Just because it was not effective in front of Iranian SAM's, it does not mean it was defenceless.
It is not stealthy. It just has long endurance. U2 was also not stealthy. U2 was 1960s drone. There was no stealth in 1960.
The UAV has layers of honey-comb composite material designed to absorb radars waves for varying frequencies. Just because it is not as stealth as the F-22, it does not mean it did not have RCS lowering techniques employed on it.
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.
You're obviously mentally handicapped. A mobile SAM in this context is one that is not static and can be moved easily and put into operation very quickly in another area.
It is 6ton heavy and does not have stealth. It is also not very manoeuvrable and any missile that can overtake it can be easily directed to hit it.
You keep repeating the same nonsense over and over and think people will buy it.
1- The UAV was flying at well over 50,000 feet.
2- The UAV did have varying RCS lowering techniques employed.
3- The UAV has many varying countermeasures against being attack, but Iran rendered them ineffective.
