Modern radars pick drones like that up with ease. The rcs may not be as big as a 747 but exposed propellers stand out like light beacons. Even a man portable radar can probably pick up a Shahed from 40km away, let alone something more sizable.
The cost of anti air munitions is indeed a problem though. Unless you have air superiority but yea...
