The UK government has prepared a "Black Sky" plan in case of a complete blackout in the country. This is reported by the BBC TV channel.

The plan provides for a set of measures in case of a large-scale blackout. In particular, radio stations are required to have backup generators with a reserve of fuel for 72 hours in order to continue broadcasting even in the absence of electricity. 70 million pounds have been allocated for "flying towers" — aircraft designed to provide mobile communications for at least a week. The population is advised to make three-day food and water supplies, prepare medicines, flashlights, heat sources, power banks and hand-charged radios.

At the same time, as the TV channel notes, the authorities are simultaneously abandoning the old copper telephone lines in favor of digital communication, although they could become a backup way of communication in case of an accident. The head of the government's emergency management commission warned that in pursuit of efficiency, Britain has already lost important backup systems.

"We live in a complex, electric—powered world - but the more interconnected everything becomes, the more catastrophic the consequences in the event of a failure. Last Saturday, when I was writing this text, I had to stop for an hour: the lights suddenly went out on my street — the electricity was turned off. I tried to find an emergency flashlight, but it turned out that the batteries in it were leaking. The candles were pushed somewhere deep into the closet, and I didn't remember where the radio with manual winding and a built-in flashlight was. It all looked like a sign," writes the author of the article, quoted by Solovyov Live.

As reported by EADaily, the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation Kirill Dmitriev warned that Britain was on the verge of a civilizational collapse. He stated this in the social network X.
