What a mess … the fourth prototype on its first secret mission, then a mishap and it had to be downed be the own forces not to fall into enemy‘s hands but to crash in Ukrainian territory!

Still can't be shot down by Patriot long range AD. The latest glide bombs have range 100 km.
How many UAVs did the Americans lose in the development phase ?So you want to compare the operational losses of a non-stealthy in fact old UCAV with a prototype alleged stealth UCAV that needed to be shot down by its own forces after a failure and landed in enemy territory?
How many UAVs did the Americans lose in the development phase ?
First flight February 2, 2001
Start of operation October 2007[1]
What did the Americans do for 6 years ?
The process of finalizing the product to its optimum parameters is underway. And it can't be accelerated. It's a common practice.
Have you heard about the Russian BUK system? More than 800 launches were made to get it into service.
Maybe you do not want to see the difference or it is indeed an issue of understanding ... Yes, loosing a drone is no issue, especially not when in development and the US have surely lost a few, but to use a prototype of its most-secret and most-advanced stealth drone in a war scenario and then being forced to shot it down and still get it loose over enemy territory is pure embarrassment and in no way comparable to your stupid list of losses on an now dated non-stealthy design in service.
S-70 is not a prototype. S-70 is in serial production. It's just a bomber. Nothing special about it.
