Time for a (drone) Kyiv Airlift? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Blockade#Start_of_the_B...

Not easy to do an airlift when your opponent has air superiority. The United States had guaranteed air corridors to Berlin.

Although not suited to an airlift of heavy items, a swarm of drones would be super difficult to defend against in an urban environment. Have them drop thermite or pipebombs or just draw fire to find enemy positions, or distract them during an assault.
