There are drones, and then there are drones. That particular attack against Russian bombers was done by undercover saboteurs working deep inside enemy territory. The drones being discussed here are essentially cheap cruise missiles. For example, you have a ~200 kg drone carrying a ~50 kg warhead that is launched using a rocket booster and capable of flying 1000+ km. In Ukraine and Russia, 80-90% of such drones are routinely intercepted by cost-effective air defenses.
