a squad mate of mine hit an RC Model plane while doing simulated gun runs on a Hawker Hunter. I do not know the speed at time of impact,since I did not fly Hunters, my guess would be around 400kts.
The Modell hit the nose slightly on the side then got (luckily) diverted to the leading edge, just out of the engine air intake!! and destroyed the external wingtank completely.
He made it back with a Mayday call to homebase, some 50nm away.
The a/c looked pretty bad.
Had it been a F-5 or a Hornet we all agreed it probably would have been a total loss.
Good old brit steel plane...
Guess what Air Force??
Tally Hoe!
