This couldn’t have worked without sharks and lasers.
My memory is that the claims of an extraordinary percentage of destruction of the artillery pieces tied to the control system turned out to be false. No more than those without it. That supports your conclusion.
I’ll admit that Crowdstrike might have been merely trying to build its business by hyping the situation. But “who benefits” from convincing the Ukrainians not to use their most modern military technology against their Russian-backed opponenents? Makes me wonder if Crowdstrike was either working for GPU, or fooled by them. Both are good reasons to press Ukraine to investigate Crowdstrike, and why Crowdstrike’s involvement with the DNC is extremely suspect.
