The Evolution of Hybrid Warfare in the Context of New Geopolitical Reconfigurations within the Black Sea Area

Abstract

Currently, the nature of military conflict has suffered substantial changes, beyond conventional actions between state armies, towards non-conventional conflicts and hybrid warfare that brings about changes to the organization and structure of military forces, manner of action, fighting techniques and means. We are witnessing a new type of menace for military security, that proves to be a complex and multidimensional military warfare, with lethal consequences, and that includes strategies, tactics and symmetric, asymmetric, conventional and non-conventional techniques, its main subjects being both State and non-State actors that use information and communication technologies. As a result of the evolution of the technologies for developing modern conflicts/wars, we note the extension of the menace of hybrid non-conventional warfare, which generates an increased danger to all components of national security, as well as an impact on regional security.
