Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the current forms of modern warfare and armed fight based on Toffler’s statement, “The world is constantly changing”. This change of the armed conflict is violent, explosive and very rapid, being like a reaction of the new to the old. The 21st century began in the spirit of this spontaneous reaction by producing structural changes in the concept of the armed fight, by adopting other forms of armed conflict than conventional ones, namely by asymmetric, irregular and hybrid conflicts in the last 10 years. Military conflicts are like a chameleon, they change their colours to adapt to the new transformations of the security environment.
