The transformation in military strategic thoughts is affiliated with the new conception of the Fourth Generation Warfare, adopted at the turn of 20th and the 21st centuries. According to some academic conceptualizations, Fourth Generation Warfare is defined as military conflicts that involve the following elements: high technology, terrorism, a non-national or transitional base, a direct attack on enemy's culture, highly sophisticated psychological warfare especially through manipulation of the media, deliver of a high-intensity, short duration attack and creating a sense of vulnerability, debilitation, and abasement in the enemy.
