Definition

Asymmetric warfare describes conflicts where the opponents differ significantly in military capabilities or strategies, often involving a weaker power challenging a stronger one. Instead of conventional engagements, the weaker combatant employs unconventional methods such as guerrilla tactics, terrorism, and cyber attacks. Asymmetric warfare allows smaller groups to bypass traditional military strength, targeting vulnerabilities in larger opposing forces, thereby redefining modern warfare dynamics.
