Some Features of Information Support for Military Operations.

The Special Military Operation conducted in Ukraine showed not only the unsatisfactory state of the information support of the operation, but also revealed some new features that need to be taken into account. The article does not set the task of analyzing the reasons for the weak information support of the operation. However, attention is drawn to the fact that at the level of doctrinal documents, namely the Military Doctrines of Russia in 2010 and 2014, there is a negative trend in the objectivity of assessments of the features of modern military conflicts in terms of their information support. Among the manifested features of information support of operations, attention is drawn to a sharp reduction in the time of effectiveness of disinformation measures and the inadmissibility of substituting information operations planning with propaganda activities. The effectiveness of using the consolidation of the capabilities of space systems for various purposes in support of one of the conflicting parties and capable of having a significant impact on the success of military operations is noted. A number of recommendations aimed at bringing in line with the requirements of the time of planning and organization of information operations in Russia are formulated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
