The Role of Modern Technologies in Military Conflicts of the 21st Century

Summary/Abstract: In the world, since the beginning of mankind, armed military conflicts and large-scale wars have been ongoing. All this has a permanent character even in modern times. Human history shows that adequate ideas about politics and war, combined with military technological advances, have often meant survival for a particular people and civilization. For centuries and millennia, the fate of nations and states was decided in wars. The decisive factor in the victory in the wars lay in technological achievements. After defeat in wars, such as Carthage, some civilizations disappeared from political and economic life and even history. Others lost their independence and were artificially assimilated with other nations. Ethnopolitical, separatist and local wars in the world are the expression of such a process. In the modern world, many new technologies have emerged that can fundamentally change the course and nature of warfare. Starting with nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, modern hypersonic missile systems, stealth systems, cyber technologies, combat drones, etc. and ending with means of information warfare. The presented article discusses the role of modern technologies in the wars of the 21st century and the factor in the theater of war. The aim of the work is to present the role of modern technologies in the 21st century and the necessity of their implementation by states to protect and ensure their national interests.
