The military conflict remains a global issue. The World War II, which took place between
1939 and 1945, resulted in massive human and material losses. Approximately 50 million deaths
were recorded, with around 70% being civilian casualties. Since September 1945, there have
been approximately 200 military conflicts worldwide, resulting in approximately 10.5 million
deaths [1]. Currently, there are 43 active conflicts [2]. Contemporary military conflict is
characterized by:
1) Conducting combat actions with forces and means in accordance with peacetime
structure (or partial mobilization).
2) Minimal localization of the operational area.
3) The absence of a fixed duration for conducting combat actions, ranging from 6 days
(the Arab-Israeli conflict in 1967) to 8 years (the Iran-Iraq conflict, 1980-1988).
4) The intensity of combat actions during the conflict varies cyclically, with force and
means accumulating for up to 6 months and direct combat actions lasting up to 7 days.
5) The civilian population of the warring parties is exposed to the risk of harm from
warring factors, resulting in collateral losses [4]. [...]
