Today was the day I was about to see if I can pair an iPad to an older iPad but it kept on saying Bluetooth is not supported although my older iPad was only one generation behind
iPad
Turning Bluetooth on and off will not cause the iPads to "pair" with each other in a traditional Bluetooth sense.
As Mr. Stedman explained, iPads do not communicate with each other in that fashion. Sometimes they use other types of Bluetooth communication to support this or that feature. That's mostly behind the scenes. But Apple devices mostly work with each other through things like iCloud, shared e-mail, Continuity features, and "manual" synchronization from Macs to iPhones/iPads.
See Why is bluetooth not supported on both iP… - Apple Community, which has links to several iCloud-related and Continuity-related support articles.

This is expected behaviour. While there are many activities between iDevices that will require Bluetooth to be turned on, they usually do not require Bluetooth pairing in the traditional sense.
What are you hoping to accomplish?
I wonder if Apple improved the Bluetooth on this iPad 9 to bee built to be more far apart than the iPad 8’s compatibility?
Well,I tried to turn Bluetooth on and off but it didn’t work.
I tried to pair my iPad 9th gen with the last gen iPad 8th gen but says Bluetooth is not supported
