1-time war is so dynamic, so large-scale and fast that any latest achievements in technology and science are at the battlefield at once. We can verify this by the example of a war in Ukraine. Drones, space satellites, cyber attacks, electronic warfare systems, rockets – all this is the reality of the present, our reality, the reality of each Ukrainian. All this is created, improved and implemented only with one purpose – the victory and destruction of the enemy. The principles and strategy of war over time also change and improve, but basic principles remain unchanged. They were written in blood and millions of lives and are definitely worthy of our attention, because they have survived to our time and have not lost their benefits and relevance even in modern conditions
War Theory h1>
we can say that war is a terrible event. And this is true. We saw this with our own eyes. But this does not mean that the war does not need to be studied. Just need. Yes, any war sooner or later ends with defeat and victory. But the world is just a lack of war, nothing more.
appearing at the dawn of civilization, the war still remains part of the historical process of each state. There is a certain historical pattern – the tougher the war, the longer it continues and the more difficult it is to finish it. Since ancient times, people not only thought about the causes and essence of war, but also analyzed the theoretical foundations of the art of war.
the territory of China in the 7th – 4th centuries BC, during the warring kingdoms, when the China, as a single holistic country, did not exist at all. Then the territory of China totaled one and a half hundred small states that fought a long process of military struggle, where there was a circulation of the loss of less successful and experienced more successful and experienced.
раздробленность Китая и количество армий в древние времена
Актуальность древних военных трактатов
Именно в такой среде родился первый теоретический трактат об искусстве войны, автором которого был Сунь-цзы (Sunzi).
Сунь-Цзы – китайский военный стратег и философ, живший в VI в. до н. Сунь-Цзы служил наемным полководцем князю Хо Люю в царстве У., Есть легенда, что однажды Сунь-Цзы пришел к князю и попросил, чтобы тот дал ему всех своих наложниц, чтобы он смог продемонстрировать свое военное мастерство. Князю было интересно, и он решил выполнить просьбу своего полководца. Сунь-Цзы разделил всех женщин на два лагеря и поставил в каждом из них по командиру и выдал им оружие. Однако когда он начал отдавать военные приказы, женщины просто смеялись ему в лицо и игнорировали его. Увидев это, Сунь-Цзы приказал казнить за неисполнение приказов по одной наложнице с каждой стороны. После смертной казни двух женщин, наложницы следующие команды выполняли тщательно и без лишних слов. Князь был очень удивлен такой жестокостью и даже разозлился на Сунь-Цзы. Однако, когда возникла военная угроза, князь назначил Сунь-Цзы командующим войска, которое под его руководством стало завоевывать удивительные и выдающиеся победы.
Sun – Zi wrote a treatise “Wujing” (China. The treatise has reached us in many translated copies of the New Age and the Middle Ages, is present in archaeological finds, which are more than 2000 thousand years old.
although, in connection with the transition from the cold weapons to firearms, some aspects of the treatise have lost relevance, this treatise is unlikely to be called at all irrelevant in our time. At least this is evidenced by the fact that the treatise is included in the training program for military personnel in China, the USA, Japan. “The Art of War” (Kit. 孫子兵法), Sun Tzu, still contains a lot of useful knowledge about science to win.
“the art of war” is a classic guide to strategy in conflicts of any level – from military operations to political debate and sports rivalry. As the first of all treatises of military art, he, despite his antiquity, was used by many great people. This book, as well as treatises on combat training “Bubushi” (Jap. The book “Utszin” not only became a desktop book of many people both civilian and military, but also formed the basis of the activities of all quanry schools (Quan-FA).

Military Methodology of the Near Boy (Close Quarters Battle CQB Or Close Quarters Combat CQC) also uses methods taken from the Sun-Tsi tract.
the founder of the near-fighting methodology (CQB), Lieutenant Colonel William E. Fairburn (Eng. William Ewart Fairbairn) (28/02/1885-20/06/1960). Sun Tzu when he served in Shanghai. Fairburn studied the Chinese Box under the leadership of Tsai Ching Tung (Tsui Jingdong), who once worked in the imperial palace in Beijing as an instructor of vassals of the Dowager Empress. Probably, Tsai was a student of the famous master Bagua Yin Fu, who was the personal bodyguard of the Empress.
in China in ancient times, students engaged in Quanfoy must have been studying by heart of Sun-Tzu.
the strategy of any battle is based on the four positions that Sun Tzu identified in Wujing:
the treatise is written in a very peculiar language, but it is often formed by the special services of many states.
the meaning of the treatise is not how to prepare individual warriors or an army for battle, but in the ability to work with information. That is, it is necessary to very skillfully use any information received against the opponent and with benefit for yourself. After all, the one who owns information owns the world.
skillful use of the information received, speed and unpredictability generates victory. The wins not the one who is strong, but the one who is more clever and cunning. These rules for the fight against a strong enemy were used by General of the Vietnamese People’s Army in NSUEN Zyap against the United States during the Vietnamese War.
the first initial statement of the treatise about the war: “If everything led to war, then the emperor’s affairs were not the best way” . .
the second statement: “the highest skill is to break the enemy’s resistance without a fight, followed by the seizure of its territories without hostilities.” Overthrow the enemy without a fight, here is the peak.
conquering states without joining the armed conflict is the ideal of victory. Therefore, the whole section of the treatise is devoted to working with information (its extraction (espionage and intelligence) and its skillful use.
information is one of the main forces that can turn not only the course of the battle, but also the course of the whole war even when it seems that the forces are unequal. After all, information can be skillfully manipulated, managed, given dosed, silent, or vice versa disclose. Information can both attract allies and push them away. Any information about the rival is important. Any information can be used with benefit for yourself, but only under two conditions:
the presence of information itself
the ability to use it

[C [IA_8530 “Align =” Aligncenter “width =” 740 “] The presence of information and the ability to use it is the key to success*c
no war was never waged without information influence on the enemy. Properly used information is important and useful, not only from a military point of view, but also as the possibility of demoralization of the enemy, the ability to undermine his image, both in the eyes of the world community and in the eyes of his own population, his own military. Even in those ancient times when the dissemination of information was not so fast when there were no media, Sun Tzu wrote in his treatise:
undermine the influences and respect of the enemy’s leadership and set it at the right time in bad light
destroy all the good things in the country of your enemy, in his image in the eyes of society
do everything possible to depreciate the traditions of your enemies and undermine their faith in your own gods
according to the work of the Sun Tzu, important knowledge cannot be obtained from demons and perfumes, you cannot get from phenomena or heavenly knowledge. They should be obtained only from people, since this is knowledge of the true position of the enemy. Information obtained by legal tracks is important, but more valuable information is obtained illegally – with espionage and intelligence.
espionage -transfer or collection for the transfer of the foreign state, foreign organization or their representatives of information that are state secret.
using spies you can get internal confidential information that can demoralize the image of the opponent, or change the course of the battle. Spies are invisible warriors whose activities are more important than the won military battle. They are one of the main actors on the battlefield of modern information wars.
espionage has actively flourished since ancient times and has not yet lost its importance and value. Spying is still actively used in modern wars. So, for example, both sides of the war in Ukraine – both Russia and Ukraine, are actively using this source of additional important information.
Sun-Tzu believed that there are 5 types of spies (sources of information) that should be reasonably used:
local spies (recruited people) living on the enemy territory;
irrevocable spies (the “canned food”), people exiled to the territory and located in a long “hibernation” for the time being;
return spies (diplomats, embassy workers, spiritual workers), these are professionally trained scouts located on the enemy and periodically returning under the “legend” back;
double agents, which can be found and bribed (for counterintelligence tasks), the enemy spies who agreed to cooperation;

money should not be sorry, because any cash payment will cost much cheaper than the content of the army and war.
[C [IA_8531 “Align =” Aligncenter “width =” 650 “] drones – The most modern spies (and not only) on the battlefield …*c
of all things are not more dangerous than working with spies. There are no costs more significant than the costs of spies. There are no things, more mysterious than those that relate to spies.
yes, Sun Tzu did not even have an idea of space or air reconnaissance, about information that can be obtained using drones. But the meaning of his work lies precisely in the fact that you cannot win if you do not have all the information about the enemy, but you yourself do not mislead him.
a good warrior – a trained warrior h1>
So, we ourselves see that ancient treatises have not lost their relevance either in martial arts or in military affairs. After all, they are important not only from some historical point of view, but also reveal the importance of using information.
the battle can be won only if good warriors with strong military training take part in it. And good warriors are trained warriors. Trained by the experience of their predecessors, trained not only in the techniques of fighting, but also to work with information.
In the modern world, the information war is an important component of every war. In the treatises of the East, you can draw this knowledge on obtaining, using and the importance of information. They are as a manual that every warrior should read, every military man, because information is a key factor in victory not just in the battle, but in the war.
this is exactly what we must draw from the old treatises of the East in order to defeat in the war, which concerns every Ukrainian, each of us. This is one of the main factors of our victory – the victory of the war in Ukraine. Since our opponents – Russians have long understood this, and since the end of the nineties have been conducting a fairly successful information war against us.
The one who knows the enemy and himself never loses war;
who does not know the enemy, but knows himself, sometimes wins, and sometimes loses;
The one who does not know himself or the enemy loses every battle.
