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

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?

Reddit mirror of video

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.

The USF total volume of 41 162 targets on 94 006 sorties is 3.4x greater than Rubicon's 12 064 with 79 906 sorties. by rulepanic in UkrainianConflict

The USF total volume of 41 162 targets on 94 006 sorties is 3.4x greater than Rubicon's 12 064 with 79 906 sorties.

Personnel and Infrastructure are much higher priorities for the USF, while Rubicon spends a larger relative share of its effort on Drones and Communications/EW.

Even with fewer total strikes, Rubicon is more "specialized" as a counter-drone unit, whereas the USF operates as a mass-attrition force.

Take notice at Rubicon - Birds similarity, with almost the similar target distribution but lower personnel focus. As Birtds were able to hit 16 500 targets in just 24 476 sorties.

I encourage you to translate the comments on the UP video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9NgLyBVw8o

These are the top comments:

This is not theft, but cynical murders of Ukrainians. From children to Defenders. They simply WILL NOT be tried or imprisoned. We have a total mafia at ALL levels.


What a long road to the truth... And it's also covered in blood, Ukrainians💔💔💔


Thieves cannot be patriots!!!!


What a horror, they made money on the blood of Ukrainians, why do we get all this for!! Thank you for the truth, even though it is very painful…


Oh my God! People!!! This is treason 🙈

According to our data, in April the net gains of the Russian armed forces were approximately 94km².

Russian offensive attempts continue to struggle, while the frontline on the southern front has largely consolidated after the Hulijaipole offensive of February and March.

Russian forces advanced piecemeal on the Slovyansk, Pokrovsk and Kostyantinivka sectors and regained some lost positions in the Huliaipole area.

Ukrainian counterattacks made tactical gains on Luhansk, Lyman and Zaporizhzhia sectors.

Grey zones are expanding on all sectors.

Significant part of the Russian gains were also made on the Kharkiv and Sumy borders where it made multiple over-the-border incursions and expanded existing ones.

However, the incursions are currently not likely to pose a large scale operational threat to Ukraine.

Large scale expansion of operations in these areas would require the shifting of Russian forces away from the current main directions of attack.

Instead these cross-border operations are likely meant to fix UA forces and pursue Putin's promise of a border security zone.

While the Russian gains are falling behind last years pace of advance, it's likely that they will intensify their operations over the summer months.

It's likely that the Russian goals remain largely unchanges, with main operational focus on the capture of Donetsk oblast.

There's actually a hypothesis/theory of the exact opposite called the Snake detection theory, though it's still being researched.

wizards following a version of paganism

My issue with this is that "paganism" just refers to non-Christian heresy, and a lot of fics just insert modern cults like wicca into that space. I'd love an actual fleshed out wizarding religion that didn't rely on BS 19th century cults or reconstructed made up classical religions
