Over the past millennia, the tactics and strategy of warfare have undergone significant changes. However, at one point, there were practically no changes. The outcome of hostilities was ultimately determined by a direct clash of the advanced units of the armies. In the wars of the future, the ratio of direct and indirect actions in strategic actions will change. Currently, the global confrontation is curtailed, and weapons of mass destruction serve as a serious deterrent. In this situation, greater flexibility is needed in the art of war, a fuller use of all available means and methods of action, primarily non-traditional ones. Therefore, in the future, the role of indirect actions such as political, economic and moral-psychological impact on the enemy will increase dramatically.
The wars of the future will have completely different approaches to warfare. Aerospace weapons and conventional strategic weapons will play a special role in future wars. These funds are decisive and can ensure the achievement of strategic objectives. The spatial scale of armed struggle will greatly increase, since the weapons of the future and the combat capabilities of the armies will make it possible to hit the enemy's territory with powerful blows to the full depth. Moreover, the destruction of its objects will be carried out both sequentially and simultaneously. In such a situation, it is extremely important for the defending side to disrupt the aerospace attack. For this purpose, it will be necessary to combine the efforts of all branches and branches of the armed forces. In the wars of the future, passive, purely defensive actions will be extremely dangerous,and therefore battles from the very beginning will acquire an active character. Directly behind the fire and electronic strikes, which will be delivered throughout the depth of the enemy's location, airborne assault forces will be landed, special forces will strike, and the rapid advance of ground forces will begin. Troops will operate using the tactics of operational maneuvering groups, carrying out raiding operations in a wide range, and trying to avoid frontal attacks. They will go out to the flanks and rear of the enemy. Thus, in future wars, there will be no clear distinction between offensive and defensive operations. Computer control systems and networks will be extremely important.which will be inflicted throughout the depth of the enemy's location, airborne assault forces will be landed, special forces will strike, and the rapid advance of ground forces will begin.

The defeat of the enemy will be decided not by a collision of advanced units, but by the method of remote fire engagement. Special attention will be paid to special methods of warfare: psychological operations, subversive actions, operations with the use of special forces. Everything will be permeated with information warfare.
The extremely rapid change in the situation will require the active use of automated control systems and artificial intelligence, which will complicate and radically change the activities of the command staff. The personnel in these conditions will have to endure extreme psychological and physical stress. Intelligent weapons will independently determine the most important targets and hit them with a high degree of accuracy.
In general, armed struggle in the wars of the future will be global, air-ground, with simultaneous interconnected combat on the ground, in the air and on the water.
