A formation of small display drones demonstrates a different capability from a combat aircraft. The ability to coordinate a display does not establish that the drones can do an F-35's job. A vehicle analogy makes the same point: trucks, cars, and estates answer different transport needs and operating constraints. Equipment choices depend on the task and setting in which the equipment will be used.

Comparing small display drones with an F-35 overlooks the different tasks each system performs.
