Classification of Military Conflicts And its Role In The Modern International Securty System

Abstract

The modern security environment and one of its components - the course of military conflicts - have changed dramatically in the modern era. The development of such conflicts has been greatly influenced by military-technical revolutions, which in the 21st century have radically changed the dynamics of their production, operational management and the scale of involvement of new technologies. Especially this factor increases significantly in conditions of war or war. Today, when the so-called the factor of the "fourth generation" strategy in the conditions of the international security system, which includes its constituent elements, such as the so-called The doctrine of "asymmetric warfare" (hybrid warfare, cyber warfare, contactless warfare, high-maneuver warfare, low-intensity warfare, jihadist warfare, information-warfare war) when the phase of hostilities, even at the level of grand strategy, does not coincide with the conditions of conventional or "symmetrical" warfare, and as it did in the context of limited military conflict in August 2008 (and not war, which by military strategy standards did not match the classic war scenario), Even during the "Crimean scenario". At present, there are to indicate the following type of the military conflicts that are: Low intensity military conflict Hybrid warfare Local war Full-pledge conventional war Coalition war Strategic Instability military confrontation (nuclear triad threat perception) Hence, the modern military conflicts, one example of which is the military aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, which began on February 24 this year, are a clear example of how they affect the vulnerability of world stability and the resilience of the international security system. The above-mentioned military conflicts are characterized by a combination of asymmetric combat operations, gross violations of international humanitarian law (this issue concerns the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the mercenaries fighting with them - the so-called "Vagner" group) and the intensity of the use of high technocratic military elements used by both warring parties.
