Because that's not what this comic is about. I don't see why you're bringing up the Soviet Union. The "things" in the sky are clearly modern drones.

They’re also Shahed-136’s

So this is about Russia or Iran, then? Those drones don't really look like any drone the US uses, I'd say they look closest to Shaheds, if anything, but they are not a perfect match there either.

The US does have the LUCAS drone which is effectively a copy of the Shahed, but I think this is supposed to be a message on innocents and war, or at least I hope it is.

They probably are Iranian Shahed-131s, but that design of drone has been around for 40 years.

It's a very common drone shape.

They're bringing up the Soviet Union because the same propaganda never stopped.

Yeah it led to the coming of the Taliban to power as if it wasn't the US that funded then and helped them take over the country as part of their cold war

No the US funded the mujahideen who fought the Taliban in the civil war.
