True, but the staff-cannon-things don't seem like a great alternative, given that they're usually fired from breast-hip height and seem to lack optics. And even if they did have optics, you'd think gliders and especially Al'kesh would already have engaged you.
Staff weapons against gliders, sure, but that just touches more on the cinema-cool element, where advanced aerospace-fighters are taken down by weapons that shouldn't hold a candle to that sort of platform. Another example is Shepard shooting down a wraith dart with an M249 (which he was carrying for whatever reason).
Stingers and AT-4's I can understand, but I feel like more realistically they'd be on the far edge of what could defend against gliders and darts.
I would assume that any air defence would be neutralized during the initial planetary bombardment after the attacking snake has dealt with any space based defence group.
The other option is anything cargo ship or higher have shields making ground based defence pointless.
