My understanding is Russia has taken out their airport so I wonder just where their aircraft are taking off from if they have any left
Ukraine would have multiple fields available to stage military aircraft.  The west near Lviv is appaarently not being attacked.   Yet.

Russia provided North Korea and Vietnam with aircraft while we were in a shooting war with them.  And Russia even secretly provided pilots during the Korean War.  Ukraine should just fly them in from Poland and the other donor countries.  And maybe do a Kremlin fly by.

The US has mach 5 hypersonic missiles in Mainz-Kastel Germany that could hit Moscow in 21 minutes.  Maybe Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states would like a few?

Sounds a lot like the cities and towns that have been highly impoverished and crime-ridden for decades here in the U.S.
Not.

Even.

Close.

These are the Ten Hypersonic Missiles That America Is Building | The National Interest

America doesn’t expect to see its first fully operational Mach 5+ weapons enter service until next year (2023) at the earliest.

The United States of America may be lagging behind nations like Russia and China in fielding hypersonic missiles, but that’s not necessarily the same as being behind in the hypersonic arms race. While the idea of this modern arms race has been framed in the minds of many as a rush to develop and field hypersonic weapons, the truth is, hurrying to get them into service wouldn’t provide the U.S. with much in the way of real military capability.

The US and other NATO members have so far sent Ukraine 17,000 anti-tank missiles and 2,000 stinger anti-aircraft missiles, a senior US official told CNN.

Zounds, if true, and if only 5% of the ATGMs take out a vehicle, that's a lot of vehicles.

I presume many have not yet been fired, of those fired, I think a 1 in 4 hit rate is about right, it would be higher in highly trained hands of course, and not every vehicle targeted would be a tank.

They're called Dark Eagle.  The US 56th Artillery Command got the first of them in November.
