That crash was a ISR Kingair, not a drone. I see no mention of a drone being involved, and I would question what a C-12 would be doing in RVSM airspace over Afghan as you stated earlier.
I'm willing to accept its possible that it happened though but it is hardly relevant. A predator is a full size aircraft in a war zone that just happens to be unmanned. Hardly the same as toy quadcopters.

I'm slightly confused as to what you are saying.
You are aware that there are 10kg birds on this planet?
