CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING HYBRID WAR

Summary/Abstract: The conflict in Ukraine brought into the attention of the entire world a new and unique way of aggression attributed to Russia, named in the Western world “hybrid war”. This represents a mix of strategies and tactics aimed at combining the combat methods, at using tactic success to obtain the strategic effects by rapid exploitation of the advantages within cognitive and moral field. A warfare can not be hybrid only by the capabilities used and its effects, unless approached from the theoretical and logistics perspective, especially for its understanding and combat. Some principles belonging to the classical theorists such as Sun Tzu and Clausewitz and new theorists, like Mao and the supporters of ‘Unlimited War’ and fourth generation war can be used to describe hybrid war, which show that this issue is not an absolute novelty. Hybrid war’ emergence is not the end of the traditional or conventional war, but will add more complexity to the defence planning process in the 21st century.
