The war style will still be dominated by conventional warfare, but the possibility of using nuclear weapons is not ruled out. The general trend of war is to develop towards high technology. With the continuous emergence of high-tech weapons, there will be new arms and services, and there may be "celestial warfare" of "celestial forces" and "deep-sea or submarine warfare of" deep-sea combat forces "; "Robots are equipped with troops", and intelligent robots will participate in the war; Electronic warfare and information warfare will show their talents; The competition between visible light countermeasure and infrared countermeasure is fierce. This development trend will change the traditional ways and methods of war; The suddenness, destructiveness, cruelty, lethality and war consumption of war will increase unprecedentedly; The dependence of war on comprehensive national strength has increased, and the task of war support has become more arduous; Operational command, operational coordination and communication support will be more complicated and arduous. All these strongly demand the creation of new war theories, strategies and tactics. High-tech war puts forward higher requirements for people's military, political, cultural quality, scientific knowledge and command ability. People who are proficient in modern scientific knowledge and technology will be the decisive factor to control the victory of high-tech war.

People think that war is a special legal relationship between belligerents. This state of war usually goes through certain legal procedures and is accompanied by a series of legal consequences. The state of war is a legal state, which is often a declaration of war by two warring parties or one side, but there is not necessarily an actual war conflict between them. A state of war is usually declared by the highest organ of state power. Once the belligerents entered a state of war, the relationship between them changed from peace to war, and the laws of war began to apply. The description of war can be discussed not only from the legal point of view, but also from the military and political point of view.
