Article analyzes hybrid warfare as a growing threat to national security worldwide, exploring its nature, tactics, and implications.
The article titled "Hybrid warfare – a threat to the national security of the state" published by Revista de Estudios en Seguridad Internacional on June 14, 2021, discusses the evolving nature of hybrid warfare as a significant challenge to national security. It explains that hybrid warfare blends conventional and unconventional tactics such as cyber attacks, disinformation campaigns, economic pressure, and proxy war to achieve strategic objectives without open armed conflict. The article references examples from global conflicts and highlights the difficulties states face in identifying, countering, and deterring such threats due to their complexity and ambiguity. It further delineates the components of hybrid threats including the exploitation of societal vulnerabilities, legal manipulation, and the use of non-state actors. The author underlines the need for comprehensive national strategies incorporating resilience, interagency cooperation, and international partnerships to mitigate hybrid warfare risks.
Confidence: High
The article is an analytical overview focusing on the concept and threat of hybrid warfare, not describing any specific aggressive operations or defense actions, therefore it is classified as neither an aggressor event nor a defense preparation event.
