Summary/Abstract: In the 21st century, the world’s leading states have moved to the next generation of wars, in which the emphasis is on the strategic confrontation of non-kinetic weapons. Obvious changes in the current security environment, emerging and disruptive technologies generate risks that lead to instability and confusion. Currently, almost all the armed forces of the developed states in their structured composition specialize in creating a psychological impact on military personnel and the enemy population. These structures use a set of methods and means of influencing people to change their psychological characteristics (points of view, opinions, value orientations, moods, motives, attitudes, behavioral stereotypes, etc.) Therefore, in addition to traditional military operations, non-kinetic operations of psychological, informational, cyber, economics etc., are becoming increasingly important because modern technologies are more sophisticated, integrated and interconnected. In this context, we will continue to focus on psychological actions as the main component of non-kinetic operations.
