Middle East conflict brings new methods of warfare - expert

During the conflict in the Middle East in recent years, there have been many innovations in the nature of warfare, not only in the widespread use of drones and artisanal weapons, but also in the new methods of information confrontation. This was announced on February 7 by political scientist Alexander Asafov on the TV channel Russia 24. The conflict in the Middle East brought something new to the subject of armed conflict. It is not only the use of some new types of weapons of artisanal production, it is not only the widespread use of drones also of artisanal production. Among other things, this long-standing conflict brought a war of video content, Asafov said. We see how the Islamic State (an organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation) began to use perfectly choreographed campaign videos. And all sides followed suit because it proved quite effective, he stressed.
