How Long Would Society Last During a Total Grid Collapse?

I suggest a far simpler technique in the modern society: just use a long list of crapware vulnerabilities.

Instead of expensive missiles just use cracked from the factory EVs, smart ovens, boiler, p.v. inverters, ... to simply create peaks loads (both demand and demand drop) and you have crushed the enemy "smart" grid without much effort, physical damage and still having it functional if you want to invade.

Oh, did you see the crappiness level of EVs crapware? The push toward more and more IoT?

Ukraine's electrical grid has been under severe cyber attack for years by Russia. I suspect their defenses have come pretty hardened, and Ukrainians are no slouch when it comes to software.

Ukraine electrical grid is Soviet one, so hardly crackable from remote being essentially purely electromechanical. Westerns grids on contrary...
