Description
War's Changed Landscape? The narrative of future warfare was once dominated by the idea of "grey zone" and hybrid strategies, with cyber and influence tools seen as the key to political warfare. However, by 2022, this view had shifted, and war was being described in terms reminiscent of the 20th century, with a renewed emphasis on traditional military tactics. In reality, contemporary war is more complex than often suggested, with technology disrupting practices across battlespace. Despite claims that new technologies are driving change, it's clear that many of these innovations have already become familiar and are no longer seen as revolutionary. Instead, they often lead to incremental changes that can be quickly overtaken by the next generation of technological advancements. This book explores the nuances of modern warfare, challenging common assumptions about its nature and pace of change.
