Non-conventional warfare

Non-conventional warfare refers to conflict strategies that differ from traditional battlefield combat. It often involves tactics like sabotage, cyber attacks, guerrilla warfare, misinformation, and psychological operations to weaken an opponent without large-scale military engagement. These methods are typically used by irregular forces, insurgents, or state actors aiming to achieve political or strategic objectives covertly or asymmetrically. Non-conventional warfare seeks to exploit vulnerabilities, manipulate perceptions, and create uncertainty, making it a complex and often clandestine approach to conflict that challenges traditional military responses.
