So we don’t know what exactly they tested. Why is this news, let alone an international one?
Also, as far as I understand, what the Russians were officially saying was that they were developing fallback systems for the event if, in another bout of sanctions, Russia gets disconnected from the global internet.

But the journalists present this story as Russia's voluntary step towards isolating itself from the global internet. I am not sure why.
