I recently learned that Russia does not fly any night missions in Syria because their pilots do not have sufficient night flight and night mission training. I was shocked.

The bigger factor is probably cost. To be effective at night you need GPS or laser guided bombs. Russia's fighting this war on the cheap and besides a few tests with those weapons they're sticking to dumb bombs.
