You can hear Shahed 136s pretty clearly, and they still do a lot of damage.

I know from experience.

It's sad that the West doesn't at least set up a few new production lines for air defense rockets and help Ukraine eliminate the Russian drones (at least the big ones), missiles, helicopters and airplanes.

They should be designing a bolt-on guidance package and a booster stage for Hydra rockets using abundant cheap RISC-V processors and leveraging Ardupilot - not so ironically

you realize we still use planes in combat right

You see any planes used in the Ukraine ?

According to recent reports, at least Russia is launching glide bombs from airplanes on a daily basis. They don’t do it over frontlines though, so not much footage available.
