Suter actually (or at least used to ~13 years ago) compromise the CaC / FC systems from the radar point-of-view itself as the entry-point, so it's not necessarily over or via conventional networks (i.e. TCP/IP). Older Russian tech for SAM sites and the such had microwave controllers between the different components (i.e. multi-static radar), and it was possible to intercept/gain access/control from here in a shockingly convenient way. It was essentially similar to (but via radio spectrum as opposed to light) gaining access to a police speed camera by firing light at the camera sensor, gaining control of it, and then re-programming it to either do nothing useful, or even in extreme cases take license plate pictures of police cars going under the speed limit. Sounds impossible (and likely is for my camera example), but... I imagine in the mean time more modern Russian systems are now much more hardened to this type of attack, so maybe the situation is different...
