I am talking of RQ4, not MQ9. RQ4 is 10 years older than MQ9.
The 30km altitude is a joke. Only BMD needs that altitude. Planes don't travel at that height as heights above 15-17km is where troposphere layer of the atmosphere ends and hence planes will not find enough oxygen there. Only few planes like Mig25 could go higher but at a significant cost of having high fuel burnout and low payload.
Max range of 100km is a big deal. How true it is is a question one has to check. Even missiles like AMRAAM claims 100km range but the actual NEZ is only 30km. Similarly, Akash's range is 30km in terms of NEZ and no plane can escape it within kill zone. I don't think Khordad of 100km NEZ is practical. Such long range will make it too heavy
The composites are for reducing weight. Any reduction in RCS is only coincidental and not the main effect. The RCS is reduced not merely by composite but by design.
A plane with 170 ton weight and has 76 ton of fuel. That is 45% of its total weight in fuel. Yet, it travels for 11000km. This RQ4 has 7 ton weight and travels for 30 hours at 575kmh speed and has range 22000 km range. Do you see why? The stealth always has a trade off in terms of range. Stealth design is not aerodynamic and hence consumes more fuel.
RQ4 is a high endurance HALE, not stealth drone. So, it is not hard to spot
I never said Pantsir is S300 equivalent. I am saying that Khordad is Pantsir equivalent and is only being hyped up by likes of you.
