This is a pretty sophisticated drone.

If memory serves it uses one of the same engines that the Citation X business jet uses.

Yep. Jet powered and costs over $100 million.

They didn’t shoot down a toy.

The story is wrong, the drone that was shot down was a:

AKA, a RQ-4N BAMS-D (Broad Area Maritime Surveillance-Demonstrator) aircraft which is the experimental precursor to the MQ-4C.

It was shot down by a Raad (Thunder) road-mobile, medium-range SAM system similar to a SA-11 Buk.
