| Sumario: | Introduction/purpose: The purpose of this paper is to presents some
tendencies stemming from the experiences from the ongoing Syrian
conflict towards the development of new military concepts and
technologies. The manner, scope and dynamics of exploitation of the
combat experience from the Syrian conflict is a good example how great
powers improve the capabilities of their defense systems.
Methods: An extensive content analysis of selected reference sources has
been applied. The system approach was used for a structural and
balanced presentation of the available information. The comparative
analysis has confirmed some similarities in the behavior of the great
powers in terms of deploying and testing complex combat systems of
strategic importance in local wars. Inductive thinking has contributed to the
synthesis of appropriate conclusions.
Results: Among the presence of several great and regional powers
heavily involved in this conflict, Russia's is considered to be the most
dominant and as such is the main subject of investigation in this paper.
Field testing of new military equipment is known to be important but of
extreme importance is its testing under real combat conditions. In parallel
with intensive testing of a wide range of military technologies, there are
indicators of developing new concepts, doctrines, and organizational
upgrades on the basis of the Syrian combat experiences.
Conclusion: From the standpoint of military technology and concept
development, the Russian endeavor in Syria has become an example of a
comprehensive and systematic aproach to learning, training, innovations,
and implementations of the most relevant factors in the development of a
modern military organization as a response to challenges of contemporary
armed conflicts. |
