SORU:

What is unconventional ?


CEVAP:

Unconventional warfare, on the other hand, uses unconventional weapons along with conventional ones, targets the civilian population as well as the armed forces, and specializes in unconventional tactics. The most distinctive feature of unconventional war is the means that are used, such as nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons were used in a war for the first time in history, in the Second World War. After the US used the atomic bomb against Japan in the Second World War, nuclear weapons entered the agenda of warfare. Although nuclear weapons are not used since then it made an impact so impressive that their existence has changed the military strategy as a whole. With the invention of nuclear weapons and the probability of their use states possessing nuclear weapons reached the capacity of mutual destruction by pressing just a button without conducting armed struggle. This fact has changed the military strategy of states from gaining victory over the opponent to the strategy of deterrence. Biological and chemical weapons are part of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) like nuclear weapons, and their use in a war transforms the war from conventional to unconventional. Their negative effects are not limited with time and space, and they can harm the whole society, human beings-made structure and also natural structure.
