Russian drone hit a big residential building in Romania last night. It's crazy to me that a NATO country neighboring the country fighting against Russia since years isn't able to shoot down a single drone before it hits something. You would think they are much better prepared (also with support from other NATO members) because of the war.

The news here report that they didn't dare shoot it down in an urban area. Probably the risks of shooting it down were even greater. The city that was hit is like kilometers away from the Ukrainian border, so there's also very little time to react.

Sounds weak. "We can't shoot anything down hitting buildings close to the border because we only realize there's something when it's too late and need drones/rockets to take three extra turns to give us enough time"  

Shouldn't matter where the drone is because air defense systems don't stop to recognize incoming danger at the border. Their radar system reach is x miles to recognize something incoming to react to it as soon as it is above your territory. Drone swarms, ok, but a single drone? Damn...

If they didn't shoot it down because they thought it is some mislead drone probably hitting a field it's something else though.
