The scholarly article by PhD student Omid Saeed Sedeeq published in the 2025 third issue of Hadtudományi Szemle presents a detailed historical and theoretical analysis of hybrid warfare. It argues hybrid warfare is not merely a contemporary phenomenon but has roots traceable to classical military thought across eras and cultures, including analysis of Sun Tzu's and Vegetius' principles and strategic teachings in the Quran and by Emperor Maurice. The paper identifies core features of hybrid warfare—such as the blending of conventional and unconventional tactics, integration of cyber operations, economic coercion, information warfare, psychological manipulation, and the use of proxy forces. It highlights the importance of adaptability and the ongoing debate on the novelty of hybrid warfare in modern military strategy. The article is authored by a PhD candidate at the Ludovika University of Public Service Doctoral School of Military Sciences in Hungary.
