Every analysis of Russia’s telecom assumes state investment produces advantage. This is wrong. Evidence from 2021–2025 reveals systemic risk preceding a Strategic Vulnerability.
BACKGROUND
Since 2021, Russia committed $8.8B to telecom development. 80% of 4 initiatives experienced delays exceeding 29 months.
THE STRUCTURAL REALITY
Russia’s strategy depends on assumptions about autonomous drones proving false. Evidence from 29 failed projects shows the Strategic Vulnerability materializing.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Rather than Russia dominant in telecom, the world faces an unstable sector prone to disruptions.
