Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to look into the strategic implications of the 2008 Russian-Georgian war (military conflict) over the Euro-Atlantic security area from the intelligence point of view, especially from a strategic analysis approach. Therefore, we will skim through the operational details of the conflict (details regarding the war stages, as well the history of the Russian-Georgian relationships have been mentioned in the annex 1, 2 and 3). Such details are important as long as they help laying the foundations of certain scenarios of the international security environment evolution. Nowadays, within the framework in which the political and analytical environments focus on the emergence of new forms of asymmetry, the Russian- Georgian conflict brought into attention the typical pattern of threats to the states’ existence resulted from the conventional war.
