Abstract

Contemporary warfare has become among the most lethal in human

History, largely as a result of global developments, particularly in the

technological and scientific domains. The transformation in the nature of

modern warfare has not been limited to the evolution and diversification of

military tools; rather, it has fundamentally altered the character of conflict

itself. Direct confrontation between armies in its traditional sense is no

longer the dominant model، nor are land, air, and maritime domains the

sole primary arenas of war. Instead, cyberspace has emerged as a critical

domain of confrontation, rivaling conventional battlefields in strategic

significance.

Keywords: War, modern warfare, cyber capabilities, generations of

warfare.
