As well. Russians are smart, if you wanted to launch a cyberwar, dont do it from you back freaking yard. Launch it from your enemys back yard. This could have been a black flag cyber op by Kyrgyzstan because they are between a rock and a hard place with both the use and Russia jockeying for influence there and throwing dollars around. By last count Russia was throwing more chedder than the USA. 2 billion plus 150 million, vs the US 65 million and change due to renting their Airbase.

And again, DDOS is not a very effective cyberwar techinique when it comes actual damage. The cyberization of that country I would think is way wayyy less than other highly dependent and highly connected countries such as Estonia. Also Nothing interesting in a DDOS, if you really want to wreak havoc and punish a country there are many more inventive ways to do it. Export all their data to P2P public networks, frag all their file systems, have trojans use secure deletion tools on all their stuff, crypto their data and destroy the key. let them waste resources to unencrypt the unencryptable. Publish personal information on all their leadership and their foilables.

attack their critical infrastructures via cyber methods.

These are the ways you launch unrestricted cyberwarfare, not BS DDOS which is one one tool and component in a cyberwar campaign of which in my opinion has not happened yet to any country. I dont think any has the balls.

This is my analysis, like it or not these are the “actual” possibilities of cyberwar which dont get talked about very much. ususally the ones that talk the least about this stuff are the best at it.
