drones are invisible to radar.......or clearly russia(or ukrain) would not be dealing with strikes far from the front lines also, hypersonic missles are now a thing, and the hit faster than any radar or interceptor can register but yes if you were worried about Portugal trying a sneak attack, then clearly they would use the wind turbine shielding attack vector from weaponised shipping cans placed on container ships


They are not (necessarily) invisible, that depends on size & many other variables.

Also, hypersonic missiles are perfectly vusible on radar.


Drones are regularly intercepted in the Ukraine war. Patriot batteries have intercepted kinzhals.


Kinzhal is ballistic missile flying on high altitude trajectory, so it is easily visible and somehow interceptable.

Drones and cruise missiles often fly very low, which makes them much harder to detect and intercept.
