The sixth generation war is an information war, with the United States as the first representative. The purpose is to destroy enemy countries at any distance in a non-contact way. That is, information warfare led by the United States. This is a contact war with conventional weapons. It is a non-contact war that uses high-precision assault and defense weapons, new physical principles weapons, information weapons and electronic warfare force weapons of different combat platforms.
The main purpose of the sixth generation war is to destroy the economic potential of any distant enemy in a non-contact way, which has been successfully proved by the war tests conducted by the United States in Iraq, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
The essential difference between the sixth-generation war and the fourth-generation war is that while using all the firepower of the invaders to unconditionally destroy the enemy's economic facilities, it is also necessary to carry out powerful information assault and intensive assault with unmanned high-precision weapons on different combat platforms. With the start of non-contact war, today's large number of army arms groups will be eclipsed or even replaced.
Information warfare is a new form of war. Under the condition of nuclear deterrence, the two warring parties take the information army as the main combat force and launch a war of integration of multiple services and arms in all-dimensional space such as land, sea and air. This kind of war uses a lot of modern high-tech conventional weapons and equipment, and adopts corresponding combat methods. In local areas, the purpose, means and scale are limited.
