Reminds me of a novel of a rebellion in a poor country. The government actually had an "air force", consisting of two two-seater training planes and a small freight plane intended for the training of parachuters which did not exist.
They started to defend their country first by dropping hand grenades, and when they ran out of those, they used the freight plane to drop gravel from great heights onto the enemy troops.
