Then you have not been reading along. These flyovers often involve cross-country multiple-waypoint precise time-on-target flights. Which is something that require much training to maintain proficiency at.

I. do. not. give. a. fuck. Do it elsewhere.

For much of the fighting it has been their bravery in defending their land that evened the odds against numbers.

And ingenuity. And general intelligence. But otherwise, precisely my point.

First of all, while Iran does not publicize their drone production at all, available reported intelligence estimates Iran can only make 5-8,000 per year. They can have high-tempo surges, but they cannot maintain a sustained output since they rely on off-the-shelf components that they do not manufacture themselves. And, since they rely on off-the-shelf components, their drones are rather shitty in quality and are mostly used as kamikaze (one-time use) drones. Iran is almost as much of a joke as Russia is.

Meanwhile, Turkey is up to 5-10,000 reusable drones per year. Their quality is better, their tech is better, and their skills are better.

Actually the roar of the cheering crowds at the Stadiums prove otherwise.

Stadiums full of people for event that has a flyover, is still "an event like an Air Show", and aren't the type of problematic flyovers being talked about. Planned events are fine. Doing a flyover of a heavily populated public beach "for training" is not fine.

For years, the air war in Ukraine has effectively been a stalemate.

Solely because of Russia's numbers advantage. They don't have to be good at anything if they can throw 5x the number of disposable humans at the issue. Russia's death toll is 3x higher than Ukraine's. Why? Because Ukraine has been superior at every, single point of this war. Russia is nothing but poorly trained pussies.
