Summary/Abstract: According to certain studies conducted by NATO experts, the term “hybrid” appears in different combinations: “hybrid threat”, “hybrid conflict” and “hybrid warfare”. Although they seem to belong to the same category, they are different not only in terms of concept but also in terms of scope or manifestation at all levels of conducting military operations (tactical, operational or strategic). The only common aspect is that they usually occur in an operational environment that is considered free of constraints or means of reaction. The author considers that in such conflicts, potential aggressors will exploit the easy access to weapon systems, command and control systems, and they will encourage the phenomenon expansion through a range of fighting techniques such as incursions, raids, ambushes, employing improvised explosive devices, coercive murders or terrorist attacks.
