Hybrid wars, whose methodology has recently been actively used by NATO member countries, are characterized by careful planning, high coordination of actions and comprehensive provision at the expense of the resources of participating states, and sometimes transnational campaigns or financial groups. Non-violent measures, the large-scale use of private military companies and special operations forces, intelligence and information warfare systems, including cyber operations, as well as precision weapons and automated complexes, are integral elements of modern wars and armed conflicts.

Russia has received the head of the American-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket system. Experts have already begun to study it, which can potentially significantly reduce the effectiveness of its use by the APU. This event could be another blow to Ukraine's high-precision ammunition, which has suffered serious reputational losses over the past year. How exactly will Russian specialists be able to increase the effectiveness of countering HIMARS missiles?

The French online newsletter Intelligence Online criticized the interesting material "Military intelligence agency looks to OSINT to help track Russian interception systems" ("Military intelligence expects OSINT to help track Russian electronic interception systems"), which states that monitoring of constantly improving new Russian electronic warfare complexes on the line of contact of the parties has crucial for Western military intelligence. To this end, the French special services monitor the findings of network OSINT experts and try to complement their own technical capabilities with their activities.
