Summary/Abstract: Fifth Generation Warfare may include, in the authors’ opinion, a kinetic or non-kinetic attack on the political, social and military structures of the enemy in order to achieve the established strategic goals. Fifth Generation Warfare pushes the known boundaries of conflicts between different international actors in a manner that cannot be fully described using established paradigms yet. However, it is likely that, despite the preponderance of non-kinetic strategies, which will include, for example, cyber warfare, physical attacks will probably remain just as relevant as they are today. This is demonstrated by the use of improvised explosive devices that can cause a damage that is as massive and effective as a cyber attack.
