But why do think it is impossible for the Iranians to have taken over the controls?

Because, if I may interject here, the signal between pilot and drone is encrypted and uses frequency hopping. To seize control over it to the point that they could actually land it relatively intact (as per the video), it would require being able to circumvent the pilot's control.

I still think it's a mockup and not the actual drone.. But I could be wrong.
