From a heroic perspective I do understand your sarcassm. From a technical perspective shooting down a 'model plane' at distance is not easy at all. Shooting down a barn sized aircraft lit up like a can of fuel on fire is technically much easier. So I would give the medals to the designers/engineers that conceived radar systems and seekers which are able to take out such low profile equipment.
