ABSTRACT

This part conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters. The part discusses a well-known military theorist, was a candidate of military science and had served on the faculty of the Frunze Military Academy. It describes the nuclear aspects of operational art and tactics as developed between 1953 and 1959, the period of the revolution in military affairs. The revolution in military affairs and the appearance of new objective conditions for the conduct of military actions led to fundamental changes in the content and formulation of laws of war and of armed conflict, and to the appearance of new laws. The essence of the first law of war is that the course and outcome of war conducted with the unlimited employment of all means of conflict depend first of all on the correlation of available strictly military forces of the combatants at the beginning of the war, especially nuclear weapons and means of delivery.
