Point of fact: the stall speed of any fighter jet that isn’t VTOL is way higher than the maximum speed of most private prop planes. They can do a fly-by, but they can’t really pull along side them.

They do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage) but they definitely do.
Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go “below 120kt” with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 !
