Please show me a built up area where you have clear line of sight for 3 miles

Avdiivka.

The vast majority of these battles are fought in the open planes of Ukraine.

I like your attempts at turning this into a 300m problem instead of a 3-mile problem. But I'll take it that you know just how worthless a drone swarm would have been in the practical battlefield at Avdiivka, or other similar locations.
