FPV BPLA combines the English term FPV, for first-person view, with BPLA, a transliteration of the Cyrillic abbreviation for an unmanned aerial vehicle. The label became common online during widespread sharing of military drone footage, where small FPV drones are flown using a live camera feed. Short motor and propeller clips like this one circulated on soundboards and social video as a shorthand for a drone approach. Creators now reuse it outside news contexts, in gaming montages and memes, because the label and the whine together are instantly recognisable.
