 | CYBER, COMMUNICATIONS, EW, TECHNOLOGY & SPACE (C2ETS) DIGEST SEP 2023 By Maj Gen PK Mallick, VSM (Retd)
In the lead-up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,
and throughout the ongoing conflict, social

of date. Information Warfare (IW) is ...Read more > | 22 Pages 650.98 KB |

became LICO (low-intensity conflict operations), MOOTW (military operations other than
