    Here is some background info:

    In Transbaikalia, fuel sales via QR codes will be introduced — residents stand in queues for up to four days
    The authorities of Transbaikalia plan to introduce an electronic queue at gas stations with individual one-time use QR codes — “to eliminate chaos, ensure regularity, and give everyone equal rights.” This was stated by the governor of the region, Alexander Osipov.
    Osipov ordered the strengthening of police and volunteer control at gas stations — to track those who pour gasoline into canisters, resell fuel, or sell spots in line. He also ordered the organization of hot meals and water for those who stand in line for a long time to refuel. This order was given a week after the start of the crisis in the region.
    The governor noted that people with disabilities have the right to refuel out of turn. However, in the neighboring Irkutsk Oblast, gas station employees refused such people, the “People of Baikal” channel points out.
    Earlier, the Exilenova+ channel showed drone-shot video of a multi-kilometer queue for gasoline in Transbaikalia. Residents of the region have been facing a crisis for the second week now: according to drivers, the wait reaches 36 hours, and sometimes up to four days. The authorities limited the sale of gasoline to 15–50 liters per day per person.
    In the neighboring Irkutsk Oblast, authorities set up chemical toilets by the road, ordered the police to catch gasoline scalpers, and ordered Rosneft to increase supplies.

  • LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyzOPtoUkraine@sopuli.xyz•How the "Flamingo" missile is created - Fire Point showed production features

    I’ve cut you some footage from the production of Fire Point, including the FP-5 “Flamingo” and the drones of the FP line.

    …

    A special thanks to the subscriber Shredder, who noticed one of the key moments of the plot - the change in the shape of the engine’s connection to the fuselage of the “Flamingo” rocket (it became more streamlined). In addition, the engine gondola itself visually became smaller, and the nozzle also changed, which may indicate that they started using a different engine [previously, they used Soviet/Ukrainian AI-25 or AI-25TL engines].

    ☝️ Back in March of this year, Stillerman said that Fire Point had developed its own two-stage turbojet engine with a low bypass ratio for the FP-5. Its main feature is that it is optimized specifically for low-altitude flights

    As we can see, the latest flights of the “Flamingo” are indeed taking place at very low altitudes.
