asymmetric warfare

This can be defined as the absence of any correspondence between the aims, objectives and means of opposing forces. An asymmetric war is a conflict which opposes combatants whose forces are incompatible; where military, sociological and political imbalance between the sides is absolute: a regular strong army against a guerrilla movement which is supposedly weak, a nation against a terrorist movement etc.
