Summary
In the opinion of military analysts, there are four types of wars in history: first-generation wars (based on large human masses, for example, World War I), second-generation wars. The wars of the last generation do not fit into the classical, conventional forms of conflict resolution, and they unfold in a climate of insecurity, using its direct and indirect effects to "reach" the desired goals. This type of war eliminates the centre/centres of gravity, and not the human losses, especially among civilians[4]. The principles guiding the new war are informational predominance (the achievement of an informational supremacy capable of suppressing any action by surprise from a third party and ensuring a non-conflictual strategic environment), technological dominance, conflict symmetry (the parties involved in the conflict have similar means, policies, doctrines and strategies, dissymmetry (the tendency of each potential belligerent to achieve net superiority of forces, means, actions, policies and strategies that enable the achievement of supremacy with the least amount of losses and resources, policies, doctrines and similar strategies), and asymmetry[5]
