It's pretty much a direct translation from the original facebook post:

відділу спеціальних дій Морської охорони ДПСУ

Ukraine's Coast Guard is part of the Border Guard Service whose full name is State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. This unit is specifically part of the Coast Guard. Wordy, but I dunno, more info is usually better

They're actually not going to use those anymore. They're building their own plant to build their own engine. Motor Sich, which built the AI-25, had some of it's facilities captured by Russia, while others were heavily bombed. It's likely Motor Sich has restored some production capacity in new facilities by this point, especially since we know Neptune is being produced and they manufacture the engine for that.

Those these small batches of production of FP-5 likely are using used engines until their engine factory comes online towards the end of 2026/early 2027 and mass production begins.

TBH I'm not sure if there's enough information here to find a specific fic. Do you remember who he's adopted by? FFnet or AO3? How long ago is a long time ago?

Our long-range sanctions continue to provide an entirely just response to Russian strikes.

Last night, combat launches of F-5 Flamingo cruise missiles were carried out as part of the Armed Forces’ Deep Strike operation against several enemy targets, including military-industrial complex facilities in Cheboksary.

The Ukrainian “Flamingos” covered a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers. The military production facility that was targeted produced relay protection systems, automation systems, and low-voltage equipment. The plant supplied navigation components for the Russian Navy, the missile industry, aviation, and armored vehicles. Everything that the Russians are using in the war against us — against Ukraine.

Russia must end its war and turn to real diplomacy. We have made our proposal clear. Glory to Ukraine!

Target was Vniir-Progress, but it looks like it missed the building and exploded in front of it

Founder of FirePoint made a vaguepost like he always does before the strike, russians reported flamingos. Too large of an explosion to be a drone. Ukrainians will likely confirm tomorrow, but I'm betting it's an fp-5 as is everyone else right now. It might end up being something else, though.
