Obviously, these cyber assaults are disruptive yes, but it does negate or neuter an entire military force because those soldiers are still physically there. If we continue to transition to a force which is 1/3 or more armed drones however... then a cyber attack could be devastating. <br /><br />I agree with Mr. Rid that a 'purely' cyber war will not take place for all the reasons he outlined but offensive cyber actions will only increase as will their capacity to cause physical harm. But singular attacks do not constitute a war... they are interactive series of events which form campaigns.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220697287752302420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-76189028047556105272011-10-29T15:17:29.937-07:002011-10-29T15:17:29.937-07:00I don't have the references handy, however I b...I don't have the references handy, however I believe that the brother of the former President of Kyrgyzstan who was the head of Kyrgyz intelligence was either implicated or charged with that crime.greylogichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11315329325360540828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-80239517280090737572011-10-29T15:02:08.732-07:002011-10-29T15:02:08.732-07:00I do not understand where it is - "Kyrgyz int...I do not understand where it is - "Kyrgyz intelligence cracked Pavlyuk's email".

Did anyone ever heard that any country wage only psychological, infantry or electromagnetic warfare in his history? Certainly there will be many cyber wars in future, but it is not a silver bullet for military, of course. More IT and digital data in our life cause more cyber warfare. There are to many fears and wishes in every war to prevent yourself to do everything you can in a struggle on life and death.<br />PS. Mr Rid should tell Raytheon and General Dynamics that cyber war will not take place. He could save them a lot of money.Draganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791627952692555253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-25927906144623820872011-10-26T07:24:04.686-07:002011-10-26T07:24:04.686-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.adamohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00541226736414144707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-3957331470302835062011-10-26T05:03:15.900-07:002011-10-26T05:03:15.900-07:00Yes, I read Geer's work.

He attempted a superficial application of a few Art of War phrases to a few selected examples of modern day cyber warfare. His exact words were "useful but far from perfect".greylogichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11315329325360540828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031840977303029006.post-86870383468540354342011-10-25T23:13:08.430-07:002011-10-25T23:13:08.430-07:00Sun Tzu for cyber warfare is dealt in Ken Kenneth ...Sun Tzu for cyber warfare is dealt in Ken Kenneth Geers's "<a href="http://www.ccdcoe.org/278.html" rel="nofollow">Strategic Cyber Security</a>".
