How it is possible that this size of drone was not shot down ?

People in Croatia's capital Zagreb were rudely awakened when a military drone crashed in the city late last night.

 Zagreb's mayor Tomislav Tomasevic said "it's amazing that no-one was injured". Croatia's president said there was no sign the country had been targeted. Markings on the debris included Cyrillic lettering and a five-pointed star. Local experts said these suggested that the drone was a Soviet-era TU-141 reconnaissance aircraft.

 Croatia's government confirmed that the drone had passed over Hungary, which borders both Ukraine and Croatia, before crashing in Zagreb. 

 President Zoran Milanovic said it was a serious incident: "We need to review certain procedural issues and determine how it is possible that this size of plane was not shot down on the way from Ukraine to Zagreb." He was concerned that Croatia had received no warning of the incoming drone, even though it had spent the best part of an hour flying across Hungary - a fellow member of Nato. He was alarmed that "an unsophisticated aircraft" had apparently evaded detection. 

 There is now concern that Croatia would not be ready if the worst happened and the conflict spread. Critics point out that no air raid sirens sounded in Zagreb and that many Croatian shelters have fallen into disrepair.
