In brief

Aviation expert Bohdan Dolintse says reduced light pollution could help mobile fire groups detect Russian drones, especially in fog and rain. He also points to limits on blackout measures in Kyiv.

Switching off street lighting could make it easier for mobile fire groups to detect Russian drones, aviation expert Bohdan Dolintse said on Kyiv 24, according to UNIAN.

Dolintse said reducing light pollution improves drone detection, particularly during fog and rain. His comments describe a potential benefit of switching off lighting.

He said blackout measures would have no effect during ballistic missile attacks. He also considered effective blackout measures unattainable in Kyiv because of the city’s large area, saying the approach was more relevant to smaller cities.
