Hybrid warfare is a military strategy that combines conventional warfare, irregular warfare and cyber warfare. Hybrid warfare is also used to describe attacks by nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and information warfare. It is being viewed as a complex, potent variation of warfare.
Instead of direct conflicts, the circumstances of hybrid wars comprise cyber war, a scenario of asymmetric low-intensity conflicts, global terrorism, piracy, illegal migration, corruption, ethnic and religious conflicts, demographic challenges, transnational organized crime, the problem of globalization and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
The Russian military has long been worried about the new, amorphous type of threat. The arrival of Sergey Shoigu as the head of the Ministry of Defence has seen this new form of warfare receive serious attention. The ministry is developing a comprehensive programme to counter such threats.....The US strategy for combatting hybrid warfare is full spectrum dominance.
