That's a drone detector beeping.

"The convoy got fcked up. Fck, look what's going on here! Let's go, floor it!"

A Russian soldier films from his car a convoy of destroyed Russian equipment on one of the numerous so-called "roads of death" in the Donetsk region. Judging by his reaction, the convoy was subjected to heavy shelling, with some equipment still burning.

The ACHILLES shock air defense battalion hit two TOS-1A "Solntsepok" heavy flamethrower salvo systems in the Kharkiv region at once.

Properly prepared drones and the skill of our operators penetrate any enemy armor.

β€œI dug out the child first, and then people came and pulled out my wife,” says one of the victims after the Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia.

Today, the Russians dropped aerial bombs on residential buildings and hospitals. More than ten victims have been reported, with the number likely to rise as rescue efforts continue at the sites.

I believe a [Combat] tag/flair in the title would be a fair compromise.

Mandatory military service in Russia lasts only 12 months and is required for men aged 18 to 30. To maintain troop levels, Russia has to rely on paid contract soldiers in addition to conscripts.

Yes, they produce them about equally, but issues with corruption and bureaucracy in Russia hamper their use.

Russia's offensive strategy is to use constant "meat assaults" to gain ground via attrition. The most efficient way to defend against that is with cheap FPV drones. The net effect is drone videos of hundreds of Russian troops dying per day.

Anything under 5kg that goes burns or goes boom has been attached to an FPV drone at this point. The most effective against infantry are the 3D printed ones that use ball bearings.

They do sometimes get caught on a net, but some brands have remote triggers. Magyar uses them a lot in his videos.

These have been used in terror attacks for some time, but it's becoming far easier and cheaper. They even sell the grenade dropping mechanism on Amazon.

The attackers escaped and the motive is currently unknown.
