asymmetric tactics
Asymmetric tactics refer to strategies used in conflict where one side has significantly more power or resources than the other. The weaker party employs unconventional methods to exploit the strengths and weaknesses of the stronger opponent. This can include guerrilla warfare, cyber attacks, or psychological operations, aiming to level the playing field despite the disparity in capabilities.
These tactics are often seen in situations involving insurgent groups against national armies or in cyber warfare where smaller entities target larger organizations. By using surprise, mobility, and innovation, the weaker side seeks to disrupt and undermine the stronger opponent's advantages.
