Perhaps it's be design? and or just the simple explanation that Russia does not want to expand the conflict against NATO/U.S. because it does not have the capacity or capability to handle a much better armed and competent adversary. And that Russia is not as strong as we once thought they were? I mean, it's been over a year since the Russian "Special Operation" a.k.a. Ukrainian invasion started and we're still left waiting to witness this supposed awesomeness of Russian military power, so far we have been left wanting and waiting for this non-existent Russian super duper force.
If Russia is so scared of a conflict with NATO that they are unwilling to shoot down a UAV, then they might as well pack up and go home.
I don't believe this is the case, hence why I don't understand their reluctance.
