Seems to me at 3.4, the first stage is to bring down all competing nations electric grids, thereby slowing trade, transportation, and hampering retaliation. Think of non-lethal mines. The side effects would be instantaneous, and lethal.
And the military could easily see it as a defensible and deniable action.
this would be trivial to anything hooked into the net, and has access to SCADA coding and grid diagrams.
It would also behoove the local “friendly” AI , to interupt communications in it’s home base, to keep outside influences from retaliating against it’s base. So you would likely get a comms blackout , except when the AI wanted to communicate it’s orders. It would also make sense to set up new frequency hopping algo’s on existing lines where that would be possible (i.e. not old POTS lines?)
