  They specifically say Russian attempts at taking down Ukraine networks at the start of the war, didn't work too well. The hype would make sense if existing networks got compromised/vaporized. But it doesn't look like that happened.

    The networks the Russians couldn't take down were significantly inferior for military purposes: ① they were wired (DSL for example) which constrains troop mobility severely or ② they involved radio traffic that revealed the position of the troops.
