Two drone views of a recent FPV drone attack on Russian forces shows Russian troops being sucked into a combined arms conundrum between landmines and kamikaze drones.

It appears as if Russian troops are either running so low on armored transport that the troops are being forced to ride on the roof. That, or more likely they're choosing to ride on the roof to put as much armor as possible between themselves and any potential land mines they may encounter en-route to wherever it is that they're going. As a result, they're finding themselves in a classic combined arms conundrum, but involving new weapon systems that have never been used before.

In their efforts to avoid being struck by a landmine, they're exposing themselves to FPV kamikaze drone attacks. If they were to try and avoid the kamikaze attacks, they would have to sit inside of the armor, which probably makes them more susceptible to landmines if I had to wager a guess.
