The light blackout in Ukraine is losing its effectiveness against Russian attacks.
Military analyst Pavel Lakyuk stated that light discipline no longer plays the same role as in 2022, when Russian pilots could navigate using settlement lighting. Today, the Russian armed forces mainly use modern precision weapons with optical guidance systems, so turning off the lights has little impact on attack effectiveness.
"At the current level of technology, it won't help much. However, if it saves even a little life, it is justified," the expert noted.
